I hated how Gemma’s ending turned out and felt like Cat's husband was let off the hook way too easily.

This was fun! I love myself some good sibling stories and this one delivered. It took me some time to keep all the different stories of the sister's straight but once I got over that, it turned into a really engaging read.

I don't know how the author does what she does. Usually, when books follow slightly stupid, quite unlikeable characters I am extremely annoyed. Lianne Moriarty has the skill to make me care about their lives anyway. 
The book is full of weird family dynamics and big and small tragedies. It made me consider human relationships on a deep level and saved me some money on psychologist visits considering toxic relationships with romantic partners. I don't think I've read more insightful contemporary authors.

You should definitely read it if you love unusual dynamics between sisters. I am also sure one of the sisters could be described and neurodivergent however it is not mentioned anywhere in the book.
