Throughout 95% of this book, I was hooked. It wasn’t what I thought or expected this story to be about and was really addicted to it. I think the synopsis undersells the story actually. It was a family drama, so if you love character development and character driven stories, this is for you. The reason I’m not giving this a higher rating is because once a certain character is introduced (no spoilers), it’s drags a bit and some of the magic went away, focusing on a whole new aspect of the story that wasn’t as engaging for me. But man overall, what a great book.
