I enjoyed the ride of this book and the twists and turns. 
Finding out that Ben was alive pretty early on in the book when Sophie goes to find him kept me on my toes waiting to see when this would be discovered. I liked the fact that the caretaker was Mimi's grandmother and that she stayed on after her daughter died in childbirth (one of the club girls?). Finding out that Ben was so intertwined in the entire family (after finding out that they are a family!!) was interesting too, spoke to his charm and the way he wielded that for his writing. I totally thought Mimi killed him so finding out it was the dad and that the mother had the boys bury their father thinking it was Ben...so dark hahaha. Really enjoyed the surprising outcomes/twists in this book!
