The book discusses topics like family reputation, addiction, death ~ bereavement, avoiding emotions, love and murder. 

💫The Sinclair family traits like not being allowed to express emotions to the importance of holding a good family image resonates with me.

💫It made me feel emotions have anger, frustration, worry and love.

📈However I felt something was missing...sometimes I lost interest.

great book! loved seeing how cadence’s mom and aunts lives during their teenage years.

both the first and second plot twists (harris not being carrie’s biological father and pfeff dying) were predictable to me but i still enjoyed reading them. however, i did not expect the third one (carrie actually being pfeff’s killer).
