Creo que el libro podría haber sido mucho más, pero hay algo que me faltó y no sabría decir bien qué fue.

Me gustó mucho que el libro partiera con la muerte de una chica y que tratan de descubrir qué fue exactamente lo que pasó, pero en realidad lo que más importa de la historia es la relación de la familia y las historias individuales de cada integrante. Fue casi doloroso ver los complejos de los papás y cómo se los proyectaban a sus hijos, y como esto hacía que ellos se pelearan pero por las razones incorrectas. 
Todos los personajes me parecieron interesantes, aunque como dije, siento que algo me faltó. Creo que nos muestran mucho de la vida de todos y más o menos cómo pensaban, pero aun así sentí que no fueron lo suficientemente profundos. En ese sentido creo que el personaje que más me llamó la atención fue Hannah, la hermana menor, y Jack, el vecino, pero ambos aparecen muy poco. 

Siento que el final podría haber sido más potente, pero me faltó algo. No sé si yo estaba esperando algún vuelco o algo que estuviera en sintonía con toda la tragedia que había estado leyendo, y el final me pareció un poco flojo.
