Gosh, I never thought a family story would be so tense and sad. Nothing is really out of the ordinary, families don’t always get together and the events in the story could happen to really any person but the way they are portrayed in juxtaposition with each other (multiple POVs) makes it all seem so….

first off, i love the cover! overall it centered around a very interesting concept with the structure of the book. some standout scenes, but left me wanting something more.
