Brendan has worked hard to make all the right choices and curate the perfect life. He's got an impressive job on Wall Street, a beautiful wife, and a bright and capable teenage son. But when his estranged sister Cassie suddenly reaches out to reconcile on Christmas day, Brendan can't choose to be civil. He's devastated when he learns of his sister's sudden passing, which is complicated by a memoir and an envelope she asked to be delivered at the time of her death. Brendan suddenly finds himself in charge of his late sister's frozen eggs, and the weight of the responsibility along with the guilt of the past weighs on him. The fertility clinic gives him a deadline to make a decision while he also juggles working during a financial crisis and supporting his family. Will Brendan be able to make the right choices for the people he loves?

Honestly, what a great debut. I loved the nonlinear storytelling, how the present, the past, and excerpts of Cassie's memoir wove together to tell the story. The pacing was consistent and engaging throughout the book. Each main character had their own problem to deal with, but it never felt muddled or superfluous. My only qualm is the dialogue frequently felt a little unnatural, but reading was still enjoyable. Ultimately, this is a great book for people who love stories about family relationships and the value of being true to yourself. I would recommend!

Thank you to Net Galley, Wolf House Publishing, and the author for giving me the opportunity to review the book. All opinions are my own.
