I’m starting to think maybe I do like thrillers if they are done properly…
I loved the multiple pov which helped me dive into everyone’s secrets while still having an unreliability to the views, keeping me guessing. I also loved how the conclusion is still a bit open ended and I can come up with some of my own interpretations even though the big questions are answered!
TWs: SA, addiction, violence

Who knows what secrets lurk behind closed doors?
In pursuit of the answers, I could not put down The Perfect Family by Robyn Harding!
Viv and Thomas are your seemingly average happily-married couple, living with their two kids Tarryn and Eli. But every one of them have secrets that may be impacting their home life.
Their house has been vandalized, with increasing frequency and severity. Any one of the family member's secrets could be motivation behind the attacks, but no one knows what each other is bringing to the table.
It's like a domestic locked-neighbourhood suspense, with some decidedly dark turns.
Some great twists and reveals make this a real-page turner. Recommended!
