an epic family drama that was worth every slow burn moment. I loved the ending & it’s ambiguity.  each character was so fleshed out and multi dimensional. they are all hard to love but one can’t help but sympathize with them as their lives spin more and more out of control. everything felt very realistic & like a plausible outcome to each choice that was made. what I enjoyed most was seeing how every decision will alter the course of everyone’s lives, little by little. 
I appreciated the conversation around climate change but found it a little redundant at times, especially the portions in the woods when dickie and pj are building the well/bunker. 
overall this is a book I’ll keep thinking about and represents the modern epoch very well.
