This book reminds me of how This Is Us is set up. We're introduced to so many characters - some of them probably don't matter. But I love the generations of love stories and heartbreaks all into one, just so we can understand the Riva family.

I found the ending to be abrupt though. I wish it had more of a slow development much like the rest of the book.
