I had to take a hiatus reading this book, because once I stopped I couldn't find the will in me to continue, knowing that to continue meant a level of introspection it had already brought to me.

This book made me FEEL so many things, about my childhood, but also about my present.
If you have a tumultuous relationship with your mother, I warn you going in that it could easily bring that stuff to the surface fast.

Having spent my summers in Western Nebraska in small nowhere towns, this book felt like stepping back in time for me. In stepping into Margot's shoes, I was also stepping into another life I could have lived. Power's writing only helps to give that feeling in her writing.

While I would say this story is slower paced it did keep me on the edge of my seat and I didn't know where this plot was going to take me and I found myself as surprised as Margot as she uncovered secrets.

Part of the reason I initially picked up this book is the fact it was tagged LGBT, but I was a bit disappointed in this facet, especially as it felt like it fell into a trope

which I despise. It being the main reason I didn't give it five stars.
