If you were looking for a sign to pick this one up, this is it because WOW! When you do, grab a snack and some tissues, you’ll need them. The way all the stories and details interlaced together was beautiful. Initially I was confused, thinking “what am I reading?!” 🥴 don’t worry just keep going like I did because you won’t regret it. Oh and the end of the book… GOOSEBUMPS. Read this!

𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬: multicultural, multigenerational, nonlinear timeline, multiple POV and subplots, multilayered family conflicts, unlikeable characters, easy to follow, short chapters

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬: a lot of characters to keep up with
