In the middle I had my doubts. Was this really going anywhere? Why are these side characters being introduced? But it really comes together in a great way. Would recommend.
I would have been fine if the book had ended with Ms. Winter's death, tbh. The few chapters afterwards did answer questions and wrap up loose ends, but it wasn't necessary for me. The emotional weight of it all was exquisite. I love ambiguous endings and the feeling of non-closure.

This is meant for an adult audience and has a lot of dark themes within one family that is absolutely unhealthy mentally, physically, and emotionally.karenmsecrest's review

“People disappear when they die.”
“The separation of twins is no ordinary separation.”
“Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you?”
