5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, not just for its writing style but amazing detailed character voices. The Vignes twins are such flawed yet relatable characters, and watching how their choices ripple out to affect both their mother and daughters is fascinating. I love a good intergenerational conflict but the intersectionality was very well crafted as well!

queer storyline was unexpected but handled with such care!!!! really loved it

10/10 also a great cover to match the mysterious vibes of the book!
