Plot
To start with, it really didn’t feel like a debut novel at all because the writing was top-notch. Additionally, I wasn’t even planning to read it since family dramas aren’t really my thing; I picked it up just to tick off a Goodreads challenge. Now, I’m really glad I did! It shattered my heart a million times and then pieced it back together. The characters and their personal struggles and family dilemmas felt so real that even though I haven’t gone through any of that myself, I could really empathize with them. The different timelines and multiple POVe were another great aspect of the book to understand the characters better. I highly recommend it for an amazing reading experience.
