Born in immigrants family, Eleanor is a smart, achieved woman who settles beneath her when she married Ellis. Or so her mother thought. She have a sister, Narisa, and both of them we’re treated differently by each their parents, Rita & Liu Jing. Liu Jing favored Narisa and Rita loved the other one more. Eleanor grew up as so-called brainer of the bunch (and an impulsive liar), and Narisa took the rebel label, having to flee from home after her antiques at the age of 17.
Eleanor later become a researcher and marries Elies, and she settles as Ellis’s lab tech. She later having casual relationship (being impulsive, again) at work. Later on, tragedies ensues in the family, and it effected her judgment and actions. It took her a new life to change the way she act, to think before acting.
The storyline and timeline is not linear; it jumped into 3 period. 1st; during Liu Jing escapes to America, 2nd; during the growing ups of Narisa & Eleanor, and 3rd; present day. While I appreciate all the details, some seems a little bit unnecessary. Fret not people, it won’t distract you from the original story.
Edit: i just realized THE marmoset monkey is in the cover. The symbols. Damn the writer is a genius.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! Much appreciated.

This book was filled with the most unlikable characters, and I really hope there are less people like these in the world. Because the characters were so unlikable, I had a really hard time liking the book.
