I was listening to the audio version (which i highly recommend) while walking back home when the book ENDED (?!?!?!?!) i stopped in the middle of the road thinking waitt...WHAT?!?!?! wtf ?!?!?! What a brilliantly excruciating ending to this rich, layered story.
This book gives the genre of domestic thrillers a whole new dimensions. While it can be dense and meandering in its slow moments - the details add to the incredibly complex personalities of every member of this family. I absolutely did not like many of the characters, but I felt like I completely understood them. This was an incredibly interesting, challenging and demanding read - and every minute was worth it. I will keep thinking about this family and that ending during quiet moments for days to come.
