3.0

This novel had a lot of potential but didn't quite land for me. 

The issues were interesting and the complexities if family relationships were delved into in an intriguing way. But I think was too short and therefore I didn't connect enough with the events, issues or characters. It should have been more moving than it was, but it just moved too quickly and needed more depth.

It jumped around a lot which was a bit confusing at first. The ending was too neat and underwhelming.
