I picked this book up because I was told it was the perfect summer read and honestly? It was so much than that. I loved it. I loved each and every character, every stupidly human flaw they had, every messy storyline. But what I loved most was the siblings relationship with their mother. They loved their mother and they knew their mother loved them but they also allowed themselves to be angry with her for all the bad she did. I always feel guilty getting mad at my mom for how bad she was at raising my siblings and I because I know she loves us so seeing that sort of relationship in media makes me feel better. 

Pros: Unexpected queer rep, a character I can use the "you're just a little bit too much like me" tiktok audio for (seriously Miss Reid, I expect a check for you stealing my personality to write Nina 😂), amazing storytelling that goes back and forth between the past and present, and may I repeat, characters I truly love 

Cons: Literally none

Reread Edit: I hate how much I love the relationships between Mick and June, and Nina and Brandon.
