I connected to this book as the daughter of a parent who dealt with a manipulative parent until their death. I think it helped me understand a little more what they might have gone through. About the book itself, I love an unreliable narrator and how frustrating the reading experience can be! Not an all-time favorite, but a solid read that I will think about for some time. As with most unreliable stories, I wished the ending had been formed more than where it ended. I don't think the story needed to continue, but just a little more closure would have been great!
