3.5

Pros: great writing, the ability to show the characters outside of their familial identity, authentic setting, the moment at the end where they deal with grief

Cons: the one character I liked didn’t show up until about halfway through, unlikeable characters (even tho this may have been intentional), hard to feel sympathetic for the characters

Neutral: slow paced
