This book switches between the perspectives of mother, daughter, and grandmother, revealing a rich family history full of secrets, regret, and love. I loved the premise and some of the twists throughout the story, but the ending wrapped things up a little too neatly without the characters fully dealing with their trauma and relationship issues.
