I had the expectation that the sisters death would be explored more or maybe there would be redemption for the main character and her parents as they learned to navigate their relationship in a healthy way, but I didn't feel that I got either of those things. It's possible that was the authors intention, but the ending just felt a bit sudden without many of the strings wrapped up.
That being said, I liked how the author portrayed grief and complex family dynamics. I personally didn't love the book, but think it was a decent coming of age story. Solid for YA fiction, but I honestly just wanted a bit more.
