5.0

I loved this book so much. It is a great story that I never saw any of the twists (and there are more than one) until they were right there on the page. It is a story about a family overcoming the realities of their lives after the loss of their mother, who seemed to be the thread that held them together. I highly recommend this book.

Content Warnings

Minor: Rape

There is a rape, but it is not graphic in description, and is one sentence. It's more heavily implied, than said outright.
