Ending was a bit anti climactic. Not enough foreshadowing or at least give me a reason to care about the brother beaides him unterrupting the narrative to tell not show for ages. I did enjoy it despite that - the main character was grating in a better than thou way which showed her being more similar to her family than she thought. Think that it would have worked better as a TV show.

I think I liked it? I truly don't know if I understood it. A wild roller coaster. Would love to hear from the authors POV

Listened to this as an audio book and had my mouth open multiple times. The back story building up initially making sense as a trauma response and then transforming to something larger was a wild ride.
