I almost wanted more of the family dynamic to be the focus, even if it definitely is a big part of the story. I would have enjoyed more history of the family members, a deeper look at what made them who they had become. But on the other hand, the feeling of being a bit kept in the dark also helps with the weird and distant family dynamic pictured.

Well written, but descriptive. I would recommend a trigger warning for this read. The main character has cut herself extensively in the past and has urges to do so throughout the book. There is also quite a bit of alcohol, drugs, and sex as Camille navigates her emotions and relationships throughout the book.mabelsyrup's review against another edition
