5.0

A very aptly-slow burn about the pernicious effects of long-kept family secrets. I appreciated the complexity of the characters and their relationships to each other, and the clever play (including the reader) of who-knows-what-when. Laura was challenging for me, which I think speaks to the skill of the author. Thought it was a great read for me, because of some aspects of the content, I will be careful with who I recommend this to.
