wow, haven't read a book in one sitting in a WHILE, but this was so easy to read! the 4 stars is kinda just off a feeling because I'm not sure this book has any flaws, but due to the one sitting reading, I always find it goes by so fast I end up not being sure what to rate it. I honestly think everyone should read this because the commentary on intergenerational trauma is either something you can learn from, or relate to. a beautiful, and heartbreaking, novel.
