3,5 ⭐️
Мене так захопили перші розділи, що я не хотіла відриватися, але чим далі я читала, тим більше мені чогось не вистачало. Ідея з різними часовими проміжками мені сподобалася, я таке люблю, але в цьому випадку сюжет і персонажі мають бути так пропрацьовані, щоб була можливість їм співчувати. Мені цієї пропрацьованості не вистачило. Наче як тільки починаєш щось відчувати до персонажів, як тебе вже перекидають в наступну історію.
Теми, які підіймає авторка, дуже важливі - це і травма поколінь, і аб'юзивні батьки, і насильство, і еміграція, і наркотики. У головних героїнь було важке життя

A definite 4.5. I may revise after I think about this one for a while.

This felt like a short story collection more than a novel. Sometimes I was into it; other times, I wasn’t. I get how the women were all linked, but it felt a little disjointed. The ending felt forced to come full circle. Not sure why the timelines jumped around so much. Also unsure why - if we heard every family member’s pov - why was Cecilia left out? Or do I just not remember that chapter?
