I couldn't predict where this book was going the entire time. Just when I thought I had it figured out it changed. I would emphatically say that Mauve was the entire reason I read it. From the frost chapter, and for the whole book she was the only character I liked in the least, but I feel like that's intentional from the author. On a large scale this book is about parentification, family dynamics and trauma. But on a small scale it's about how close siblings can be in a chaotic world. And for that I lived it. Even if the actual plot wasn't to my taste.
