I enjoyed this book so much more than I anticipated!! Im so mad at myself for waiting so long to pick it up!
The story follows Libby Day, who survived the murder of her mother and two sisters back when she was 7. Her brother went away for the murder.
This book went between current to back then and really showed you the story and how everything unfolded.
After 25 years, Libby decides to look closer to what actually happened last night.
I felt like the pacing for this book was so well done, there wasn’t a boring moment in my opinion. You follow multiple POVs of the family and we also got to see how Libby grew up after it all went down.
Although I didn’t really connect with any characters in this book, the plot twists really surprised me and the banter between Libby and others were too funny. She didn’t really know how to communicate the best way.
If you haven’t read this one and enjoy family annihilators, satanic cults, and lives being changed all because of a single day, this one is worth the read!
