While stepping out of my normal type of read this book was a captivating and deep read. The book examines intergenerational trauma and healing, how despite having the same experiences it affects everyone differently. How someone’s choices and actions or inactions alter the tapestry of a person. 

The writing is incredibly rich and immersive. The characters are as familiar as the people I grew up and the setting something you could step into. Pausing my reads was disorienting as it was so immersive. 

The only reason this is not a five star is that despite being so beautiful I was not so enraptured that I need to tell everyone to read it regardless their preferences. I would absolutely recommend it if this is your niche. 

Thank you Atria Books and NetGalley for this advanced reader copy of Alli Dyers debut novel
