After seeing this book around I thought I should read it. I decided that listening to it would be better. Personally I felt as though the book was too dramatic. I appreciate the concept and the writing style was nice but it was packed with too many things in my opinion.

The beginning of the book was more gripping. I felt that towards the end of the book some topics were being repeated or more issues were being added which I felt didn’t need to be included in the book. 

Eleanor’s life story was interesting and I felt very sorry for her especially with a father like hers. Benny’s character I found annoying at times and Byron’s character was okay..

I really enjoyed this! I love generational stories and this one included twists and turns and beautifully wove multiple generations together in a powerful story.
