this is definitely my fav by TJR after not entirely enjoying DJ and Evelyn Hugo - i thought the characters had more realistic arcs and the generational story telling was good just wish the end was more satisfying
Spoiler alert if you have not read this book yet turn back now! What your about to read will spoil the ending. That ending! The fire didn’t happen til the last five pages of the book but who knew that a lit cigarette could cause so much damage. I would like to read a sequel that is a follow up if they find out who started the fire or if it’s just deemed an accident with Santa Ana winds. Maybe Hud and Ashley have a wedding.Does Kit find love? What becomes of Jay’s cardiomyopathy? I crave this.
I think a more accurate rating would be 3.5.
Loved the themes. The family bonds. Loved the 24hr time like with the flash backs to bring structure and clarity. But I’ve gotta say the last 1/4 lost me. It got too busy and lost some of the magic
TOTALLY ENJOYED IT!
Not because it's all wrapped in a neat bow, with all questions answered. Four stars because of the feelings this book stirred. The complicated story line of people, the good, the bad, to selfish decisions. The people who never wake up and see what truly is important its sad but beautiful in the honesty its written in this book.
Maybe I get it because of pivotal people in my life having similar impacts on me as characters do with each other in this book.
Maybe because of how Reid is able to write out said people without holding back the ugly and selfishness so well.
I don't know, but I truly can sit back and appreciate this book for what it made me feel.
