This book made me ugly cry

Really enjoyed this book. This hit a lot of my favourite themes: redemption, family, beautiful setting and a complex protagonist. I loved the bond between Cooper and Finch. The book was also varied: hopeful yet tense, reflective yet dramatic. The ending was very powerful and moved me to tears. The story was great and the emotional impact of this book was powerful. The only reason I'm not scoring it higher is because the prose style, whilst straightforward like the protagonist, was neither bad nor outstanding. Overall, excellent read!

With all of the content warnings that I even added, you would think this is a book of horror. But I finished the book thinking, that the story was more about love, what you'll do for your children, especially in the midst of so much trauma.

i really liked this book.
the writing takes a bit to get used to, it’s very choppy, but it’s a good one. 
it’s pretty slow until almost halfway through, then it picks up quite a bit. i really enjoyed the story, liked the way the characters were written (i enjoy the notion of not knowing whether i like or trust characters), and god damn did the last 10ish chapters have me crying. highly encourage everyone to pick up this book and give it a read.

Went into this thinking it was a traditional thriller (like wrong exit) but it wasn't. An atmospheric kind of mystery? centering a father and daughter, why they are there, the father's PTSD of his war experiences, and a lot of other drama and trauma. I think this read pretty quick, I was heavily invested in the story, but I can see some people not really caring about it. It's a lot of back and forth from the father's present day life and his past life.

I bawled like a baby at the end. Not sure if it's because hormones (period is coming) or because the ending really pulled my heart out that much but the waterworks were in full haha
