Meh

I liked the concept of this book, but the execution was not for me. The character list is so long, which makes it quite confusing to follow. On top of that, they’re ALL unlikeable. I wish the author had shortened the list and spent more time developing just a few characters.

I listened to this on Audible and found the narrator didn’t change tone when speaking for many of the characters, which added to the confusion of if, and who, was talking. I wouldn’t recommend this format.

A masterful debut of life, loss, and family. I loved it.
