Enjoyed the first half/first quarter of the book, was caught a little off guard by rhe thriller/twist ending, but still a good read nonetheless.
It was interesting to learn that Kezi had survived, but I was devastated to learn what happened to Shaqueria. Mark's character I have no words for, I didnt expect anything (or anyone) like him to be in this story.
I did love how everyone's pov chapters weaved together to tell the full story spanning over decades! Also appreciate the touch of having the family trees and cross country map at the back of the book, it helps bring everything together :)
