3.5

A good novel about family intricacies and striving towards being successful and being normal. The premise is nothing new,  suburban life not being all that it’s cracked up to be and families having cracks beneath the surface. But the descriptions of what is happening inside characters’ minds and the metaphors are strong! I wish every character did not need a tragic backstory and huge emotional weight behind each one of their actions, because it felt manufactured for the story instead of authentic. The last 30 pages or so are the best!

Beautifully written but the plot and characters are a bit one-dimensional and pretty devoid of hope.
