Enjoyed the book. The stuttered narration of Peter’s chapters was an interesting characterization. The characters are extremely flawed and I liked them anyways. 
Enjoyed the plot despite it being mostly a miscommunication trope heavily fuelled by grief and complicated family dynamics. 

It was too long, or maybe I prefer more plot based novels. I kept picking it back up but lacked what usually keep me captivated during dramatic/tense stories like these.
