This was beautiful, and I didn’t even grow up with sisters. This is loosely based on Little Women. William and the Padavano family, especially the sisters, all mix paths. Different sections of the book focus on the different characters, and I think the complexities and heartbreak of ever changing familial relationships mixed in with the suffering of life suck you right in. This one has a deep sadness, beauty, and love to it. It’s not a flashy read, but I did enjoy it quite a bit.

I loved the pace and the flow of this, I love a book that spans decades and you can grow with the characters. This would have been a near 5 star read if it wasn't for a major plot choice that just felt completely unbelievable and untethered me from the characters emotionally.
I understand why Oprah was handing this book out like candy
