I absolutely LOVED this book. This is one of my favorite reads this year. If you are looking for a book whose central theme is family that is rich, in culture, pick this book up. This book is told in four POVs between four cousins. The book starts by highlighting their close relationship as kids, and readers get to witness the contrast of their relationship in their adulthood. A tragedy suddenly occurs, and the four cousins are brought back together and readers get to follow their journey navigating grief, love, and growth. 

Within the first chapter, I felt so emotional. This book had me reflecting on my relationship with my family. Whenever I was not reading, I immediately wanted to pick this book back up because the book felt like these characters were part of my family.

I felt the grief, the happiness, the frustration, and the uncertainty that life brings. I appreciated how the authentic these stories were and how each character was flawed and human. I also enjoyed seeing a book tackle the hardships that occur during the transition from yours 20s to your 30s. 

I didn’t want the story to end. These four women feel like family to me and I’ll be thinking about their stories for a long time.
