I loved the idea of this book following multiple generations of family relationships, but I found it a little confusing to keep track of the long list of characters. I found myself confusing characters and forgetting storylines. It also felt like some of the storylines didn’t get a proper ending. I finished the book wanting some of the loose ends to be tied up.
