Home Is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose

4.0

I actually really enjoyed this book. Maybe I just read it at the perfect time and didn't have my hackles up, but I was intrigued the whole time and didn't see the twist coming until it was already there. All of the characters are flawed. All three siblings say terrible things to each other that they shouldn't, but that felt raw to me. They aren't bad people to add to the intrigue of the story (mostly), they're just humans who've been hurt and haven't addressed it and healed from it properly so they lash out at each other. I can see why people would think that a lot of elements don't add up here, and normally I also hate when it's so clear that things could have been completely different (and the whole plot seems almost pointless), but I didn't feel that way about Home Is Where the Bodies Are.
