Another inventive plot structure. But so far my favorite thing about this author is her imagining of siblings.

Well that was very different. The book is well worth a read but it will take some effort!

The structure is very important in terms of gradually revealing how the threads and characters come together.

Enjoyable read - interesting plot and characters but ultimately I was left feeling a bit sad. Fantastic author!

what even was this. I thought I was gonna be reading a thrilling murder mystery and it just ends up being the story of a bunch of different people with no plot whatsoever and changing povs every chapter and I didn't like the characters at all. giving it a star and a bit for the cats and marlee
