Beautifully written and compulsively readable, but at the same time I don’t feel like I fell in love with either the story or the characters? To me it felt structurally magnificent but lacking in depth and texture when it came to the siblings.
Graphic: Addiction and Abandonment
Moderate: Racism, Rape, Suicide attempt, and Sexual harassment
