This was a bit of a challenging read for me. Those family dynamics and the cycles that were doomed to repeat themselves until that hauntingly chilly end. It was a great read but also a bit of a difficult one.

I have no idea how to put into words how I feel about this book. I forced my way to the end hating most of my time spent reading it but yet by the end I found myself completely enamored.
