Model home was not what I expected, but it was so good. Rivers Solomon had a beautiful way of writing and it’s always so impactful. 

The timeline was a tad hard to follow at the beginning with flashbacks and POV changes, but after a while it was easier especially since all the characters were so distinct. 

These characters were very complicated and real. The story follows a family that is very dysfunctional and traumatized and very real. 

The ending was not what I saw coming at all and was hard to read but done so well.
