I really loved the analogy between the ghost and Flynn. I think this book was well researched on domestic violence and also on motherhood. The writing was superb. I even fell in love with the kids. What a unique way to write about such an epidemic in our society today. I want to read it again to see the little parts I'm sure I missed.

Like some other readers, I was confused by the ‘ghost’ situation (could be because the only other novel I’ve read this year is ‘The Sentence’). It all made sense as I kept reading though. A quick, easy read
