This is a book about generational family trauma, and still, it manages to be so personal and focused, which I think is a hard balance to strike, but this book did. I really liked the the way that facets of the story were revealed little by little. The ending is definitely not wrapped up in a perfect bow, and for this type of story, I was totally ok with that.
