I’m still processing, but ultimately I laughed, I cried, I felt things. I’m not sure how to do a review without spoiling but will do my best here- this is the first book I’ve read where I think the “thriller” part happens in the first 30%. After that is aftermath over many many years. It sometimes felt slow- but I don’t know that it was…complex, messy, full, hopeful. It kept me turning the pages and the ending was unexpected.

A masterpiece. It was easy to keep turning pages to find out what would happen next. And easy to get swept up on the saga of every character. I appreciated the focus on the long-term fallout that happens after trauma while not focusing on the person who caused the trauma.
