Well this was good, it gave me memories of [b:The Joy Luck Club|7763|The Joy Luck Club|Amy Tan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1586662847l/7763._SY75_.jpg|1955658] but with less bright spots. This was lovely and the writing hits home. It’s about love, family, and sacrifices parents make that are never realized until you are an adult. Ultimately, I’ll remember this one for a while but Spoiler the ending left me sad, even though we did get moms POV near the end, it’s all just really sad. I lost a grandparent to dementia and saw how much it wracked my dad. The book left me feeling melancholy
The most impactful thing this book did was make me want to talk to my mother and grandmother, to constantly tell them how much they mean to me and how much they have impacted my life.
