Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book!
Overall 4.5 stars- all the characters were people you love to hate, and while I predicted the main twist of the book, it was still exciting to see it all unfold. Told from multiple perspectives, the story revolves around 3 siblings and their significant others as they gather at their childhood home following their mother's death. Each character has a major flaw, and the author does a great job of exposing those flaws as the story unfolds. Great for those who also enjoy Lucy Foley and Rachel Hawkins.
