A beautiful and bittersweet story about a family made of broken pieces. Each character presenting beautifully feelings of feelind different, expectations and loneliness. So many feelings I could relate to and understand. But, some of the ways the characters were written broke the emotional impact for me. Some moments did not seem realistic or logical, especially to fit the characters with so much knowledge and history. Like the way Lydia’s parents got together, the way Lydia dies, the way Lydia’s mother’s past affected the family.. I just couldn’t get over it and for that reason the book fell from greatness for me.

Traumatizing the whole way through; it was excellent. Lesson on having empathy for the things people do to try and make their family happy.
