The story was heartbreaking but the plot moved SO SLOW and the characters were frustrating.

This book had some many twists and turns throughout it it had me hooked from the beginning! The author did leave some aspects of the plot unexplored and open which I personally find frustrating but I know some people like to have things open for interpretation. It’s an interesting examination on family and perspectives. A great reminder that we can never truly know peoples intentions behind what they are doing until they tell us and guessing just leads to resentment.

I wasn't enjoying it and then all of a sudden I really was. I loved how it was told through multiple perspectives.

This was a compelling read about how complicated family really can be. And how blood doesn’t make family.

Writing style kept me at a distance from the characters. Too much telling and not enough showing. It wasn't a bad book but I just never felt compelled to pick it up again

Interesting story, but the writing didn't do it for me.
