I read her first book with Libby’s “Together We Read” and super enjoyed it! But this book I just couldn’t get in to. The characters are meh and the plot isn’t intriguing enough for me to continue.

Well written and enjoyed the narration too. There were so many characters, it was hard to keep track of them. I got a little lost in Cece's story in the middle. The sex scenes were well written, but felt kind of random in this story that seemed more about family drama and history.

It took me awhile to get into it bc of my reading slump, but Terah definitely has a gift for storytelling. She tackles a lot of topics like generational trauma, racism, addiction, and sexuality and does it well. One thing about Terah, her authors note is always going to be thorough and give all the necessary information for the reader to make an informed choice as to whether this book is a good fit for them given certain triggers. I think she handled all of them appropriately and I actually learned a thing or two reading this. There were quite a few different POVs which was a bit much at first, but I got used to it. I loved the powerful ending and how they won in an unconventional way. I appreciated that all the characters overcame their fears but didn’t necessarily escape consequences. You definitely need to be in the mood for a more serious read but if you are I think it’ll be worth the time.
