This novel started slow for me, but it picked up in the middle and then I couldn't put it down. At the end of it I wanted to give it 4 stars because I thought the family relationships were well-written (in the middle portion of the novel), but the ending of the story didn't wrap things up very well for me. Over all I liked it, I enjoyed reading it, and there was definitely really good writing in the middle, but I can't give it more than 3 stars.

I don’t even know where to begin with this.
I was absolutely disgusted by everyone’s behavior but in a “omg I can’t put this down” way, there’s something that compels me to read about dysfunctional families.
I may or may not have highlighted the whole book as it’s FILLED with extremely relatable quotes or very wise observations.
Even tho I was waiting for something darker to be revealed (and some other things were not such huge surprises) this took a turn I was not expecting at all and broke my heart even farther but with the way Alice Feeney writes I truly believe I could read anything by her at this point.
