3.5
The main reason I rated this book 3.5 stars is because it is so heavy. I probably won’t read it again. I am glad that I did read it though. If you plan to read this book, just be prepared for a very sad, depressing subject matter. I tandem read this with a lighthearted romance novel to keep myself from getting too depressed.

2.0
It was extremely difficult to keep up with family relationships and changing narrators. That made it almost impossible to connect with the characters.
