I really liked the story when I first started. I love the trope of how well do you know your parents. I thought I was going to get a suspenseful novel with drama and a big reveal. After the initial quarter of the story, I started getting irritated. Andy is a hard character to digest. How she is in her 30s and useless with no adult capabilities is beyond me. The first part where she breaks down after watching 2 people murdered in front of her and then her mother killing the guy, I understood her shock and her catatonic state. But the rest? Come on! How can she be this naive and stupid? I could not stand her POV and every 5 seconds she's having a break down. And this what throughout the WHOLE book! No real growth. Then the ending took forever. And the reveal wasn't all that impressive. By the end of the book, I was over it. And ready to be done.
