The Perfect Family by Robyn Harding

3.0

The book had a good start but it somehow failed to deliver.

The story of a family where everyone has a big secret and feels overwhelmed and guilty about it. On top of it, they are starting to be attacked and harassed and each and every one of them is feeling equally responsible and fed up with stress and anxiety. Things begin to escalate and there is a point where everything is either bringing them together or splits them for good.

The book is written from the perspective of the four main characters (father, mother, son and daughter) and how things are being perceived by each of them. However it fast starts feeling like a tea cup merry go round or the and that dizzy feeling you get when you spend too much time in the tea cups. The chapters are jumping from one to another but they add little or nothing to the story.

The ending felt disappointing to me.
