What an incredible read!! I loved the way Weir slowly unfurled the plot— giving us just enough backstory when needed, but not so much that the arc would immediately become obvious. The three narrators were a perfect choice for this book. All equally lovable, all equally flawed. I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

This is not a typical book that I would pick up but I am happy that I did. A very challenging read based off the subject but one that is important to be shared. Although the topic around this book was hard it was a good read that had moments of joy.
