This book was on my TBR for the longest time and I’m so happy I finally read it. It started off a bit slow but picked up after about halfway. This was an enjoyable story about family secrets and how to mend the division that comes along with that.

I absolutely cannot remember the last 5 star book I've read, but this one is well worth it. A family story of love and loss, regrets and comforts. Two estranged siblings are brought together to hear their mother's narrative will, learning more about her than they thought possible. The audio is amazing and my only wish is that I could read it again for the first time.

This was such a switch up in my normal reading and I absolutely loved it. I loved savoring the content and really taking my time with the stories being told rather than the thrillers I've been reading as of late.
