I felt sad as I learned about this family from the various perspectives, and I felt challenged by choices made by the characters presented.
It’s interesting how as adults we want to make different choices than those before us, yet in many ways, we end up making the same mistakes anyway.

THIS LINE ?? "And, after a while, the biggest fear of all: of losing Nath, the only one who understood the strange and brittle balance in their family. Who knew all that had happened. Who had always kept her afloat." or this one??? "How hard it would be to inherit their parents’ dreams. How suffocating to be so loved." hnnnnng I just felt it. I FELT it. And it hurt me!!!!
Basically tl;dr this family felt doomed and I cried!!!!
