absolutely adored how well-written all of the backstories were. such a talented writer! didn’t understand the intent of the end so it fell a little flat for me in comparison to how much I loved the backstories but it may need a re-read to make sense of it. the structure of this book allows you to see across time and observe the conscious and unconscious impact that familial and romantic relationships have on who the main characters (and we) are as whole people
