Reading this book was honestly kind of difficult at first. We’re introduced to so many characters that it was hard to keep up with, and the multiple POVs combined with the back and forth timeline made it confusing in the beginning. This is definitely a slow burn, and I found myself putting it down a few times because the pacing dragged for me.
However, the writing itself is very good, and the outcome made it worth finishing. Once everything started coming together, I was invested enough to keep going because I needed to know how it would all end.
This story is about generations of daughters dealing with deep family trauma and how that pain carries down the line. The mother-daughter dynamics were especially upsetting at times. So much of their fractured relationship felt rooted in silence, open communication and honesty could have changed so much. Watching how secrets shaped their lives was both frustrating and powerful.
