I loved the familial relationships that came out and the simple telling of scandal. Its really well written to include hollywood-type gossip but really make it feel like at the end the underlying tone is "life is complicated, people are more complicated". And each character feels more realistic for the choices they make and the happy-noy-happy endings that they get. No one walks into the sunset with their love. It's about death. It's about hurt in family. But that's also why it's about love.
It was great.
It was great.

Essa Dava inventa cada coisa
Drama familiar muito gostosinho, consegui me conectar com todos os personagens e entender perfeitamente o ressentimento deles com a pira do legado Shastri. Dava foi uma mulher extremamente ambiciosa e até pra morrer teve massagear o ego antes disso, sem se dar conta do quão egoísta foi ao envolver os filhos nisso. Mas quem sou eu pra julgar né? (já julgando).
No fim eu gostei da personagem e da sua história de vida, terminei o livro sentindo que Dava Shastri realmente existiu.

Think of this book as The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo meets Daisy Jones and the Six meets Malibu Rising. I loved it! It both broke my heart and healed it.
Set against the reality of news of an imminently dying mother, this book takes you through the realization and grieving process of each child and grandchild as they get to know Dava’s life story. The family dynamics are incredibly relatable and perfectly capture the complexities, obligations, and above all, love that lives within everyone.
There is also a section that includes a musical biography of Dava, where she lists songs that resonate with significant times in her life, and it is just such a beautiful way to define one’s life.
This book is in my top 5 of 2023.

Dava was an interesting, complicated character, but everyone else fell flat.
