Thank you to @Net for this #gifted copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 

 

I absolutely LOVED this book. I’m not a huge reader of family drama books, but this is the second one I’ve read and have absolutely adored. There is genuine heartbreak throughout the book and I loved seeing the four sibling’s POV’s and flashes between past and present. It really allowed you the ability to understand where each character was coming from and gave depth to each personality and the family dynamic. 

 

This book beautifully handled what a family can look like and how a falling out can slowly snowball. How they deal with grief, guilt, divorce, longing, reconciliation and more is written in such a realistic and undervalued aspect. I think it was written well and highly recommend it even if this isn’t your typical genre.
