Super disappointed just because Reese’s Book Club books are normally really good.
Mother is super hypocritical, annoying, irritating, and degrading. The family is hot trash and it’s all because of her life choices. She needs therapy, not a priest.  Besides that, the buildup to the “mystery” each  family member deals with in the book barely scratch the surface of explaining what they were.  I felt like I kept missing information as I progressed, which made me go back and see if I did miss something, only to find out that I didn’t. Even the suicide attempt was glossed over as a no big deal.

The overall storyline was interesting, so that’s why it got a 2 star instead of a 1 star, cause the rest felt like it was half-assed.
