I wish there had been some sort of flashback chapter to what the mother was thinking regarding her children, but I guess that also wasn’t really the point of the book since the focus was on the siblings relationship.

It wasn't horrible but I wasn't wowed by it. The writing style was engaging. There were times that the plot felt a little muddled. Overall a decent "beach read".
