I felt things reading this. Immediately I was pulled in by the story of a dead body and a high school girl. For a second, I was thinking this would be a thriller? Alas, it was the story of a complicated family, complicated relationships and even more complicated love. 3 generations under one roof. After the death of their matriarch, they learn to find themselves beyond the mold that the matriarch built for her sons. 

It really was such a good and complicated book.
