This was so unique in that each of the three parts read like a different genre. Part one read like a contemporary romance, part two like a coming-of-age, and part three like a historical fiction. I really enjoyed the magical realism element weaved throughout the three parts and loved the connection between them!!
I liked the end, but I wish we were given more from it.
Highly recommend the audiobook for this one as each part has a different narrator.

Overall I liked the book a lot. Getting the persepctive of the three generations made it more impactful for me. Lily was irritating me at times because of her inability to communicate. The genetic engineering part of the story was added an interesting component but didn't feel fully fleshed out to me.

Well-written. Explores themes of generational trauma, including racism, and how that manifests in different ways at different times. This book also delves into each character's motivations for actions and how we're all just doing our best in the moment - but it also shows the importance of communication: something we do with good intent can come across as hurtful (or be hurtful). I feel like future re-reads of this book will be beneficial for further thoughts and analysis of the themes
