This was an excellent read, and always kept me guessing. I expected it to be more of a thriller, but it was more literary fiction with some dark elements. Ivy’s decisions throughout were fascinating and it was interesting to see how she justified things based on familial expectations or experiences. While Ivy and her family were not necessarily likeable, I really enjoyed the story.
