This was so unique and perfectly embodied female rage. The characters were so fleshed out, I felt my heart beat fast in anger at some, while other times I felt it swell with love for others.

Prose was boring, story slow and predictable. Characters are one dimensional. Sisters don’t get along. Stopped reading 40% way through.

Wow! I am SO glad I went into this book blind…it made the reading experience more enjoyable! I just knew this book was about unlikable characters and a trip gone wrong…and that’s it! And the characters are very UNLIKABLE…This family was the worst!!! On the other hand, the nieces were not as bad since they were little kids who loved their aunt despite the family’s reservations! And…I actually liked the ending
I would have liked to find out what happens to the toxic family… Nicole and Justin obviously get divorced…a prediction: I think something happens to Benny in which he goes to his sister’s apartment to be comforted like when he was a kid and finds she is not there anymore…guess he will have to grow up like Anna…props to Waverly for standing up like her aunt against the toxic family…Also the Christopher ending: wow maybe the family killed him only to pin it on Anna if they were caught

Boring. But I did read past 50% bc I enjoyed how the theme of a dysfunctional family; estrangement and scapegoating were well done. I just want more horror.
