Dear Matija,
I've bought this book in 2019. It took me 5 years to get to reading it, and two days to finish. I enjoyed some chapters more, some less, but all of them were wholesome in their own way. Some were sad, some inspiring, some talked of such horrible past it's hard to even imagine such family histories exist. Even though some paragraphs were too "woke" or too "instagram-y" I think the characters were well connected and the story well thought out.
P.S. Some weird representations were included that did nothing for the story, just like the arc of grandma and son in law affair, ew!
