I took a break from the book halfway through. It was riveting at first but then I grew a little tired of the pace. Once I picked it up again, it felt slower but still interesting.

This story explores the meaning of family, love and home. How rules are made to be broken, how if you love someone too much it will turn to simmering hatred. this book left me feeling gutted and vulnerably wide-open, like a fire had ripped through.
