Something about this time of year puts me in the mood for a multigenerational family drama and this was such a good pick for that type of book. It starts a tiny bit slow, but stick with it because it just better the more you read. It’s character driven and you really get to know the complex women in this family very well by the end, the author did an incredible job crafting them. They’re the kind of characters that leave a lasting impression and I won’t forget them anytime soon, especially Lila. There are many themes but the one that resonated the most with me was motherhood and how that can look to different people. This was compelling, at times emotional and at others funny and would be such a great book club pick as there is a ton to discuss.
