My original rating was 4 stars, and then I moved it to 5 stars. Upon talking with my buddy read, I’m changing it back to 4. I wanted more of Malena’s story, more so than any of the other characters.
If you like book that is full of family dynamics over several decades, both blood and chosen, I highly suggest picking this one up.
This book was both optimistic and heartbreaking and it was just what I needed.
