Another solid read from TJR - she never fails to tell a compelling story. I feel in trusted hands when picking up one of hers.

The Good:
- Joan’s relationship with her niece
- the central relationship,
- dual-timeline structure*,
- writing,
- concepts of found family and LGBTQIA representation
- ends very strong finding that emotional resonance

The less Good:
- overwhelming number of characters
- “in media res” beginning (took emotional sting of that moment out)
- outside of “in media res”, slower paced beginnings
