The sense of anticipation of disaster in this book kept me gripped and I enjoyed the switches to each characters perspective. Ray is so unredeemable, so toxic and solipsistic and revolting that it’s a mystery how he remains the center of all their life’s. It’s similarly frustrating how self sabotaging and trapped Lucia is as a consequence but I think showing the effects of years of emotional abuse is accurate. - for her and everyone else.
