Wow, I loved this book. I get why it isn’t necessarily beloved by all readers, but I enjoy domestic mysteries, and stories that look at family dynamics. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the Big Brother in me. 😅

I felt sad as I learned about this family from  the various perspectives, and I felt challenged by choices made by the characters presented. 

It’s interesting how as adults we want to make different choices than those before us, yet in many ways, we end up making the same mistakes anyway.
