  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

 The author is so good at creating complex, deep characters that are both imperfect and sympathetic. The web of dark family secrets, soliving the mystery of their deaths, made for an engrossing story. It was dark, very dark, but in a way that felt very authentic.
