Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo
3.0

Only just a little letdown with this one. The writing was beautiful and some chapters were more powerful than others but there were some issues for me. It didn't really feel like there was a plot. I know what it's supposed to be about but it just didn't hit home for me. While I enjoyed some of this, a lot felt boring and just didn't hold me. There were multiple POVs and they kind of all blended together. It could've been brilliant but it just didn't work for me.
