nikkitynack's review against another edition

Quit in the first 20 minutes; too much pregnancy loss talk, and then a dying and twitching deer? No thanks.

3.5

I was NOT expecting this book to be heavy and sad? I guess that’s why they say to not judge a book by it’s cover! It was a slow burn (for me) but it was well written and enjoyable over all. The ending was a little disappointing; I just wished there was slightly more to it. Overall it’s a good book ~ 3.5!

This books jumps around between characters and timelines a lot, honestly I was lost/confused for a lot of it. The book has animal death right away and discusses infertility, miscarriage, child loss, and parental loss/illness so avoid if those topics are hard for you. 

The story was sweet at times covering 4 generations of women, but not my favorite read.
