I loved the complexities of how Cander detailed a mother (Mayree) and daughter (Paula) dynamic, having both experienced trauma and trying to cope with the invisible scars and burdens being carried - individually and across generations。 Set in the late 80s, this book gives little glimpses into how the world is changing for women, slowly but surely, and the battles so many mothers and daughters still experience as generational norms change - leaving some stuck in their ways and others adventurous, I loved the complexities of how Cander detailed a mother (Mayree) and daughter (Paula) dynamic, having both experienced trauma and trying to cope with the invisible scars and burdens being carried - individually and across generations。 Set in the late 80s, this book gives little glimpses into how the world is changing for women, slowly but surely, and the battles so many mothers and daughters still experience as generational norms change - leaving some stuck in their ways and others adventurous, yet naive of the world around them。 From experiencing the loss of innocence, the loss of love, feelings of betrayal, and abandonment - the reader is pulled through the trenches as both characters battle with their internal tormentors to try and survive the chaos and secrets left behind by Frank, the recently deceased patriarch。 。。。more

DNF at 31%。 The synopsis of this book sounded so exciting, but I found this book extremely boring。 The first few pages-exciting。 Then the next 30% of the book literally nothing happens。 It’s so much filler & back story and NONE of it is exciting or building suspense。 I am sure it would eventually get better but my goodness if the book has no excitement 30% of the way in- that is a major fail。 And it was repeating itself often。And don’t get me started on the main character and all her whining abo DNF at 31%。 The synopsis of this book sounded so exciting, but I found this book extremely boring。 The first few pages-exciting。 Then the next 30% of the book literally nothing happens。 It’s so much filler & back story and NONE of it is exciting or building suspense。 I am sure it would eventually get better but my goodness if the book has no excitement 30% of the way in- that is a major fail。 And it was repeating itself often。And don’t get me started on the main character and all her whining about her ex boyfriend and she even starts stalking him at one point sitting out of his house forever。 And they weren’t even dating that long- get a grip。 It is very hard to get into a book when you are annoyed by the main character’s personality。I will not suffer through the rest, hope y’all enjoy it if you read it。Read for free from Amazon First Reads。 。。。more
