4.0

Immersive, detailed, and emotionally charged from beginning to end. A slow start as characters are introduced, but the pace picks up and I found myself really invested in the well being of many of the characters. The characters were complex and interesting and I loved getting insight into each generation of the family. At parts the story felt really grounded and straight to the point and at other times was more abstract and emotional and I enjoyed that back and forth. There are a lot of difficult topics in this book, so mind the content warnings, but really an amazing book.
