I will definitely be thinking about this book for awhile. It was beautifully written and the numerous perspectives added so much to the story. It was a bit confusing at parts just because it goes forward in time and then back again depending on the chapter, but overall I think this was a strength of the book. It did a great job at exploring complex topics and I feel like a better person for having read it.

I loved this! It was beautifully written and a really compelling story. I liked how it followed the twins throughout their lives and how they connected again through their kids. I thought it really handled tough topics well like racism, colorism, segregation, white-passing, trans rights, etc. and I actually loved Reese’s story and his relationship with Jude.

No fault to the writer - I just need to come back to this when I have more attention to give it. Listened as I was doing chores, and I tuned it out and had no idea what was happening.

It took some time for me really get into the story, it starts slow. It really flows after the first 100 pages.
