I genuinely didn't think any of these characters were redeemable, but Diane actually grew on me.

Not just a story of mystery, but of miscommunication, misunderstandings, and misgivings... I enjoyed it!

This book really got to my emotions. I was angry and upset and supportive and afraid. A really nuanced take. And whew, does Ms. Hepworth know how to write mother drama.
