I really wanted to like this but it was very boring and not well constructed. The writing is like reading a journal, everything is described by the father's perspective, which didn't make any sense. It would have been a lot more interesting if we were reading from Finch/the daughter's POV.

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
