I loved this book despite the many trigger warnings it comes with. She has such a way with words that has you feeling like you're right there. You picture the scenes and even the smells. Quite a few you wish you didn't picture because of how disturbing they are. Sam, Charlie, Rusty, and Gamma will live rent free in my mind. I went through so many emotions during this book and cried a few times. This is definitely a rollercoaster with twists and turns I didn't see coming.

I really liked both sisters in this story, they felt real and the story definitely kept me interested. I wanted to know what happened, one twist I didn’t see coming until right as it was about to happen and the other I called quite awhile before the reveal but I don’t necessarily see that as a negative. 

My biggest compliant is that I kept having to read things over and over, like I enjoyed reading from both sister’s experiences of what happened but too much was repeated. I didn’t want to read the whole scene twice - it could’ve been shortened. And some of the details about like Samantha’s house and cat and swimming routine could’ve been left out as it was repeated too and made me want to skim it instead of read it. 

I really liked Ben’s character and even Rusty was entertaining and the complicated but loving relationship between the family seemed real.

Overall a good story to entertain the reader, but…..

Slow, slow start…. I started and had to put it down for three months. Then read for a week and down again for two months. I’m not sure why I didn’t DNF this book but in the end I did enjoy it once it picked up. In two weeks time I went from having read 8% of the book to almost 85% of the book read. 

The chapters were looonnnng… so long that at times it seemed like there would never be a break.
