Review: Intriguing what difference a name makes! - A great read. Inventive and intriguing how difference your life turns out depending on the name you are given. I should’ve taken a few notes on a sticky pad to keep the story lines straight for each of the lead’s names because I don’t read fast. Well written.
Review: Beautiful and Heartbreaking - I wasnt sure what to expect from this book when it was chosen by the book club I'm in. At first I was like I dont know if I can follow this story being re-told from different perspectives. And then it finally clicked and engaged with me. Bear, energetic and full of love. Protected for so long from realities that were before his memory was strong. Julian, memories and a life filled with tragedy and loss. A strength and worry he wasnt sure how to master. The love of family that finally made him who he was meant to be. Gordon, molded and groomed and tragedy. Luckily the love of a sister that helped round it out. Maia strong and deliberate. Afraid but knows she needs to do more. Hiding and unable to remove the shadow she is living under. Cora, family keeps her together. Tragedy unspoken. A savior that came from nowhere. The supporting characters were all amazing and well written. I did not feel like any were one-dimensional. All were necessary and needed in the story. The writing was interesting and engaging. The story is tough, abuse. Would I recommend, yes. Would I let them know that there are some tough situations and may need to go in with eyes open, yes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!
*by A***D on December 29, 2025*

This book was so compelling it was difficult to put down. It weaves together numerous themes—domestic abuse, manipulation, sexuality, art, and genetics—all orbiting around Cora, the mother of Maia and her newborn son. The baby’s name becomes a central tension in the story: Gordon, reflecting his father’s expectation that the child be named after him and follow in his footsteps; Julian, meaning “sky father,” the name Cora chooses in an attempt to placate Gordon while still allowing her son the freedom to forge his own path, and Maia’s name choice—Bear—chosen because she wants her brother to be soft and cuddly, yet strong and brave. Although the shifting names and timelines can feel confusing as the characters move into adulthood, the novel’s central idea remains clear: the names we are given shape who we become and carry the weight of others’ expectations long before we can define ourselves.
