Booktok overhyped this book. I honestly don’t really understand what happened and find it really hard to like the characters, especially based on how the book ends.
Due to the incident in the end, we didn’t get to see much character development after the main character realizes what happened. The family was dealing with the trauma but not in ways that are displayed as finding resolve. The ending was far too blunt for the circumstances.
