I think if it wasn't trying to be a mystery/thriller and more of a family drama, I would have liked this book more. There are parts of the relationship amongst the family members that are interesting and thought-provoking, and by far my favorite character was Diana. However, as a mystery/thriller, it was only about 15% of the book and was pretty bland in suspense and the reveal.

I could not put this book down. I loved the different perspectives from Diana and Lucy and going back & forth in time. It was set up perfectly to me and I loved the anticipation of learning why the relationship was so bad. 
The arc of Lucy and Diana’s relationship was beautiful and shocking. I had no idea that was coming. I wish we saw more from Nettie’s perspective. Great thriller!
