Also, what's up with the food Nana makes? Literally doesn't sound appetizing at all. Seems like trying to be weird simply for the sake of being weird.
Beyond those complaints, it wasn't a horrible book. I stayed up way too late reading it 2 nights in a row. So it definitely kept my attention and was hard to put down.
I will add, I figured out the big twist by page 70. So kind of had to keep reading to make sure I was right and to see how it would unfold. And yes, I was right.
All in all, I'd say it's good for a quick read, might be a good vacation book.
Moderate: Emotional abuse and Murder
Minor: Infidelity
