I read this book in 2hrs on a flight. It has me invested yet torn straight away. The characters are morally grey and maybe it's a cultural difference but I found it difficult to understand the main character's motivation, I guess because the sister didn't really seem to have any redeeming characteristics. Would I do the same for my sister, who has a lot good qualities.. 😅 Definitely food for thought.
