So I started listening to this on audiobook right after I moved (I’d been waiting for it on Libby and happened to get it at not a great time for me). Because I was so busy and couldn’t get into the novel at first, I almost returned it to just read it later on. But then I got drawn in. I had only heard amazing things about this book and I understand why—it’s so good! I love the shifting pov and how it moves throughout generations (okay like all of my favorite books do this). 

I definitely want to reread this from a physical copy.
