Thank you to Netgalley, Penguin General UK, and Viking for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review
Michelle is a kindergarten teacher, she and her mother were abandoned by her father when she was a child, he was an alcoholic and abusive. She learns of his death through the obituary in the paper, and she later gets a call from a lawyer who is handling the estate that her late father left her 5.5 million but she has to meet conditions in order to inherit the money.
Charlotte is a therapist, who ideally should have all the tools to handle her father's death, but she is struggling, and when she learns her father left her nothing in the will she spirals. But little does she know her father had a plan for her after his death, and coming face to face with her half sister may be the key to them both finally healing from the devastation their father left in their lives.
I think the author did an incredible job of writing very flawed and broken people. Both Michelle and Charlotte were absolutely awful people, and I hated them for practically the whole book. I had a lot of trouble relating to them and did not feel sympathy for them which was my main problem with the book. The author also really nailed the therapy portion of the book, and how is takes rock bottom to really recognize you need to make a change. The book just did not invoke any emotion from me.
