A good debut, but it was a bit underwhelming. I felt like the characters’ lack of communication throughout was unrealistic and there only as a plot device. I also found most of the twists pretty predictable. It was compelling reading though, and I enjoyed the exploration of mother/daughter relationships and generational secrets
