the tone of the writing does feel slightly immature/juvenile but that could be intentional to reflect the main character. i didn’t guess the twists at all so it did what i wanted it to do as a thriller! i love dysfunctional families and this definitely delivered but the characters felt pretty flat outside of that - i also didn’t care for the preachiness from nana but i can see how some would like it. the ending felt a little “unrealistic” in a way i wasn’t prepared for but i still really enjoyed it overall.

The writing was super clunky, and I almost gave up after the first chapter. It just didn't flow right, and when it was flowing it would be broken up by too much repetition or trying to be deep and philosophical, when it really didn't fit, at least not in the places it was.

Also, what's up with the food Nana makes? Literally doesn't sound appetizing at all. Seems like trying to be weird simply for the sake of being weird.

Beyond those complaints, it wasn't a horrible book. I stayed up way too late reading it 2 nights in a row. So it definitely kept my attention and was hard to put down.

I will add, I figured out the big twist by page 70. So kind of had to keep reading to make sure I was right and to see how it would unfold. And yes, I was right. 

All in all, I'd say it's good for a quick read, might be a good vacation book.
