Interesting writing style. It makes you feel like you're reading a theater play. I like that vibe. I hope it stays that way.

I’m little confused. I know it’s not a fantasy or paranormal romance novel, but the back cover says: "The Manipulator / I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. / I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh." It practically implies that Adeline has some sort of power to control other people's emotions, yet so far, I haven't noticed her being a manipulator—neither in a supernatural sense nor in the sense of being good at deceiving people. Did I miss something in the story, is the book description simply inaccurate, or did I take the description too literally?😅🤔

For me, this was a hit and miss. I had heard so much praise for this book that I probably set my expectations too high. It is a family drama exploring themes of generational trauma, motherhood, adjusting to a new country, nostalgia for one's homeland, and the desire for things to change for the better—aspects I really liked. Yet, something seemed to be missing. The timeline was a bit confusing; in my opinion, there were too many time jumps. If the author didn't want to use a standard chronological order, two timelines would have been quite sufficient.

Lately, I’ve been seeing this book all over the internet, and I’m curious why it’s so popular—and why it gets such mixed reactions. People either love it or hate it. It looks like I’m about to find out.
