reflective tense medium-paced

There wasn’t much I liked about this book. I knew where it was headed as far as the end, there was not one character I liked or wanted to know, this family borders on cult like. The writing style and the hope that I would be surprised and the story would take an unexpected turn kept me reading.
slow-paced

So captivating. The first book in a while that captures family relationships: tumultuous and tenacious.

DNF at page 168. This book wasn't bad, it just wasn't really catching my interest. When the big reveal came about why Sunday left the family for 5 years, it felt hollow and unbelievable that she would leave her family and boyfriend for that reason. That more than anything is what made me stop reading. I have a ton of other books from the library and don't really want to waste my time on a book that isn't clicking for me. Loads of other people loved this book, though, so maybe you will, too. It just wasn't for me.
