I thought the writing was really beautiful. Every character felt unique. I generally love books that are going from one perspective to another, and this one really delivered. I do agree with one reviewer who said that it's frustrating to read books about unrelenting Black pain. And it's true; the intergenerational pain was really palpable. I still liked it, though.
