This is an excellent example of enmeshment if I’ve ever seen one. Many people think only sons and mothers can be enmeshed but…they’re wrong. The characters are infuriating and there is a twist I wasn’t  expecting. I have mixed feelings.

A good quick summer read! Good little twists throughout, never sure what would happen next or in the end.
