dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

This book is disturbing. Don’t read too much about this book ahead of time.  It builds slowly, and I found myself often saying “what the heck is really happening here???”.  It’s like a puzzle: you are gradually given the pieces but they don’t seem to be making a clear picture, until that last piece goes in.

This is the most fucked up, dysfunctional mother/daughter relationship and I'm here for it 😅😅😅

Why do parents think that hiding the truth from their kids (their teenage kids at that) is protecting them?! 🤔

Anyways, I won't say much because it is best to go in blind
But what I will say, is that you will not like any of the characters
You will feel rage for the wrong reasons
the Twists will hit you, especially towards the end

the only thing that I would criticize is the plotholes by the end of the book.

Finally, I wish people like Maggie and Nina were only fictional
Sadly, they are not
