Surprisingly relatable as an adoptee and also parent of mixed child. Stirred up lots of identity feelings and concepts. I wish there was more to know about them all.

I do like it when a story unfolds in an interesting format and this book was a great twist on the multigenerational family tale.

3.5 stars! I love any stories of intergenerational family trauma, specially when you mix that with race and societal issues. I loved Lily and Nick’s POVs, but the last one didn’t capture me and I felt like the ending was meh.
