finishing this book with tears in my eyes… so incredibly heavy yet written with a beautiful, airy, rhythmic, flow. it really encapsulates the push and pull of strained familial relationships, wanting so badly to hate them for what they do but not being able to fully blame them as they are victims in their own stories.
The format of each chapter being from a different POV is definitely not my favorite but it added so much depth to the characters to really dissect their own narratives and get a look into why things unfold the way they do.
Jojo, Kayla, Pop and Mam really make this book worth reading, reminding that it’s not all dark… they are the most lovable characters and their connections fill you with so much warmth.
