This was a very interesting book that was honestly pretty well done! I loved how it took two sisters and explored each pov from the past and present along with the daughter. The writing was a bit hard to get into with how much it jumped at times with new scenes and stuff but it wasn’t bad. The characters were complex, you wanted to shake them, hug them or strangle them. I felt so many emotions reading this but overall I was satisfied.

A good chunk of this book is a message about the pressure of fame and the toxicity of society. What you will or won’t do to be relevant and how the media views you. It’s about how someone who never wanted this for herself (Cassie) is now famous but treated so differently because of her looks. It’s about sisters and mothers and the impact of how you were raised and if there’s a chance to start anew. It’s about how the pain of your past affects your future and how even though had past pain it doesn’t excuse how you treat people in the present.

Great start to 2025 and I’m glad I was revived this arc
