I was super excited to get this ARC as I have heard multiple good things about this author. The book itself was great, however, left me wanting a little bit more. I think this is due to the big expectations I had from hearing such great things!

This novel follows so many different characters (although they are all in the same family besides Davina), that it took me awhile to remember who was who and what their role was in the family. Davina and her loving personality was definitely my favourite character. I also felt like some parts of the story drug on, while others were glimpsed over way too quickly. In my opinion, there were a few parts that could have been dug into more.. such as the ended which ended far too abruptly. Even though I felt it lacked a few things, the novel beautifully covers grief & loss as well as found family.

Thank you NetGalley & Lake Union Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC!
