Not my favorite of this author’s, but I appreciate the theme of generational trauma and how it affects people. It had a decent plot as well.

Called the twist pretty early on in the book, however it was written so well that I didn’t mind working my way through it. Fun cast of characters and yet another “good for her” book of female rage and revenge(little light on the rage, she could’ve been much angrier in my opinion, lol).

Decent story, but most of the plot in the beginning was obvious to me so it felt like the first half dragged on. Then when the past finally catches up to the present, the resolution felt rushed and unrealistic to me. I think the story is good and compelling, but I didn’t love how it was organized and delivered.
