I was provided an advance copy of this novel from the publisher, Atria Books, through Netgalley.

This is a story about two sisters who lived from the 1950s to the present, how their lives were affected by the changing times, the different--and unexpected--paths their lives took, and how they always found their way back to each other. This timely novel is shaping up to be a must-read for this summer. For me, it was slow-moving, but enjoyable. It wasn't one I devoured, but when I did pick it up, I could get lost in this sweeping story. Satisfying and thought-provoking!

This book was just over the 4 star mark for me, honestly a very high 3 star book. I think what pushed it over the mark for me was the LGBT content and the struggles throughout different generations of life. I did enjoy the back and forth between sisters POV throughout. One day I hope to read a LGBT related book without angst but this ain’t it!

A story told over many years. The characters are engaging and interesting and leave lessons in their tales.

Fast read with a predictable storyline takes us back to the past and brings us back to the present. It's a story of strong women who pave their own paths through their own journeys - discover themselves, their place with their families, and society amidst changing times.
