As for the book, it felt a little long winded and repetitive. I wouldn’t read it again but I’m glad I finished it.

The author did a wonderful job in writing and developing a clear narrative throughout the book. I was often left wondering how something so tragic and obvious could be missed by everyone surrounding the family in this book. It forces you to question what you think you know about local law enforcement, family dynamics, and if those around you would notice something was obviously wrong. It also delves into each sister’s experience individually which shows how similar experiences can shape individuals in completely different ways.
My only issue is that occasionally when in the more present times of the story he would slip in an additional story of abuse from prior years. I feel this wasn’t needed at that point of the story and would have been better served earlier on in the book. It caused the middle of the book to have a slightly chaotic feel.
