• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I can't decide if it's a 5 star read for me or not.
The whole time, I was so invested reading that book.
The storyline felt like a drama tv show and I kinda loved it.
It was kind of sad to read how they all grew up with so many struggles, just because of Mick Riva.
But I loved to get to know them better with every page I've read. 
I do have to say that so many plots were predictable to me, so it didn't surprise me that June died or that Kit doesn't like men and Mick having another possible daughter etc.
I found it very sad to realise that June and Nina have been cheated on and almost had the same life just because two men screwed up and didn't make it right.
Even tho I loved to read this book so much, I don't think it deserves 5 stars, but maybe I will come back and change my mind because it was that good!

I changed my mind! It's definitely 5 stars.
