Didn't really enjoy this. In fact I kind of want to give it 1 star, but I've only given it 2 stars because I know that hating stories about lies spinning out of control is something quite specific to me, so on average I think people would enjoy it more than I did.
Basically I just didn't like any of the characters. The only one I could even vaguely root for was the daughter, but I wouldn't even say I liked her. A lot of the dialogue was just tedious and honestly I didn't really care what happened to the main character at the end.
