This was an enjoyable, quick and easy read; I didn't particularly love it, but the writing is delicate and deliberate and I found myself swept up in the family drama. However, it felt suuuppeer bougie, ensconced in a perspective of white privilege (and considering that is my own perspective, I did not enjoy it as I seek books as a means to widen my own perspective). And I bought the internal lives of the characters fell a bit flat/all ran into each other. Some characters were barely fleshed out at all, so it felt strange to have even brief access to their psyche. And the ending felt a little too happily-ever-after for me.
