a lovely read about a family navigating their adult lives after a reset. there's drama and pettiness and hurt feelings, but also so much love and grace. i especially loved reading from the different generational and gendered povs, and how they interact with each other. you feel like you know these different family roles, but also get to know how these complicated and unique characters got to be placed in them. i loved it.
