Very entertaining but I thought the big secret was a bit underwhelming and I couldn’t really see why she wouldn’t tell anyone. But I’ve not experienced anything like that so maybe can’t judge.

Anyway I read this to see if I would like the author’s second book because it has a pretty cover and I want it so I have now justified the purchase brb heading to the book store

After a getting into a car accident, Sunday goes back home after being away for 5 years. There, she and her family must face the consequences of their secrets.

This was a good family drama. I really liked the dynamic of the siblings and how they had each other's backs no matter what. So much of their relationship was about keeping and protecting their family secrets from others and each other.

Generally so many POVs would throw me off, but I think it was well done in this book. I enjoyed getting into the heads of all of the characters.

I didn't think that the secret that drove Sunday away was as dramatic as it was made out to be.

Spoiler

Yes it was incredibly traumatic, but had she just spoken to her fiance, he could have supported her. Instead she goes to her mother who gives her terrible advice and drives her away from the family.

Also, I figured out that it was the dad pretty early on. It was obvious that he would do anything to protect his children and make up for what he did in the past.
