In my opinion this book is completely advertised wrong; it's supposed to be a psychological thriller but there is nothing thrilling about it whatsoever, it was more of a family drama for me. I didn't care enough about what was going on and was just going through the motions trying to get it finished.
I think this has been the worst book in terms of characters for me, absolutely none of them were likeable (well maybe Binnie and the dog); Carys was too much of a try hard and Sara was just an immature, whiny specimen that thinks she can waltz back in after a decade missing and just take over.
No thrills, all drama (and not in a good way).
