5.0

Woah, genuinely was not expecting this to be as captivating as it was.  This usually isn’t my genre but the first chapter had be hooked, the narrator for the audiobook brought the characters to life as well.  It was thoughtful, beautifully written with multiple point of views that blended together with the plot so well.  All the characters were so detailed, their stories and hopes and dreams.  The depth of all their perspectives, choices, and lives was so wonderfully captured.

I highly recommend reading this book.
