Slow burn (I was expecting something more) but I enjoyed the last quarter of the book immensely. Even though it left me slightly disappointed- it made sense for all the characters. Interesting story on colorism within a family dynamic and within the intriguing small town of “Mallard”.
Moderate: Racism
Minor: Domestic abuse and Toxic relationship
