2.0

Overall I was disappointed. The familial themes were by far the most interesting, but we were led through a farce of a mystery where nothing was ever in doubt. The writing was very engaging, the themes were interesting, but the actual plot dragged for me.

For those who enjoy reading unreliable narrators, crime thrillers or Gillian Flynn novels. Easy to read in a few days, but very dark with difficult scenes. Definitely take note of the content warnings.

Very well written but the ending made me so mad/sad. In like, a semi good way.
