such a beautiful & emotional read, i thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience of this book. the way in which it travels through time and navigates two separate points in the twins’ lives and relationships is very clever and interesting, although i did find that the chapters following noah were more captivating than those which followed jude. that may just be down to personal taste, however i did generally find the storyline with noah and brian to interest me more than jude and her interactions with guillermo and oscar. all in all though, the book is beautifully written and has such a powerful message of family and unity that i think feels rewarding to read.
