The storytelling is great in this book, Vermette puts together a multi perspective novel so well. There are so many complex and interesting characters, and you leave the book caring about all of them. This is the type of book that you need to trust that it’s all going to come together, and it does. This was a great book club pick too, since there was a lot to discuss and reflect on!
I would highly recommend reading this if you haven’t already! This will likely be one of my favourite fiction reads of the year. I am really looking forward for The Strangers, which comes out next month and follows some of the same characters.
