The Half Moon by Mary Beth Keane
3.0
I give this book 3.5 stars!
This novel is a very slow burn. The setup is way too long, which is why it took me SO long to get into the story. I was confused about the timeline, because we jump from present to past to recent past, back to present, then somewhere in between all of that again. We get both Jess's and Malcom's points of view, although it's weighted a bit more toward Malcom. Once you figure out the layout, I found myself invested in what happened to the main characters. Loved the family / generational twists and the overall vibe of the book in the 2nd half.
