3.0

The family dynamics and character studies in this book are certainly relatable, almost to an uncomfortable degree. If I were only interested in how realistically Moriarty can hold up a mirror to the average middle class suburban family of the day, then I would give this book 5 stars. However, I expected more from the plot as a domestic thriller. The ending was lackluster and missed the mark for me. Ultimately, I enjoyed the book, but in hindsight feel that the parts that dragged were not avenged by an ending that would’ve made it all worth the time.
