I found the story to be very interesting, but what happened in the 'then' very much fell apart about halfway through. A good fact-checker, like Gabby, would have found the holes and torn them apart in minutes. It's out of character that Gabby didn't investigate further.
Thank you to Kensington for the ARC of Familia.

Familia is a contemporary novel focusing on, as the title says it all, family and past tragedies through following two protagonists solving a mystery after a DNA test and matching.
