3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 - read via paperback (autographed copy won from Kav’s Best Reads) 

This was my first time reading this author. It started out with a bang but then it felt like it was all action for quite a while. Too much action. So many things were going on. I was feeling disconnected from the characters.

The latter third of the book was a lot better for me. I felt more connected to the characters and the theme of what a family truly is at its core. I absolutely loved the ending.

“Families are not just based on biological ties and genetic material.”

“Wishing for someday is
giving up on a lot of life
you could be living today.”
