This book took me far too long to read because I would pick it up and be entirely uninterested. Once I did get into it though it did become worth the read. The twists were all done methodically and were unveiled slowly throughout the book very well. The end did have a good amount of shock value while being believable and I liked how everything wrapped up I just think since I wasn’t super interested at first I wasn’t invested in how it was going to end. The writing style isn’t exactly my favorite but I understand why it is so specific and lyrical. I did enjoy seeing the family dynamics and how they all evolved throughout the story. Overall good read just doesn’t seem to be my type of novel.

The writing was lovely but the story was slow and ending was a bit too tidy for me.
