4.5

Great novel for summer due to the beachy vibes! It's a bit of a slow burn but you really get a deep dive into the complex relationships between siblings and parents, as well as generations of family history. The pace picks up towards the end of the novel. Only reason was not 5 stars: ending was a bit underwhelming.
