It's been months since I finished reading this book so my review won't be as accurate as when I finished it. But I do remember this novel being a hard-hitting story about a family dealing with grief and trauma.
It was heartbreaking to read the different POVs because they would leave you like "if only they would communicate their feelings honestly" but you'd also ruminate and think about your own experience and realize it's not always that easy. Which was one of the main points of the story.
Celeste Ng has perfected the art of gut-wrenching and relatable family drama that'd leave you want more yet also want it to end ASAP.
