I struggled with this, because the characters were not in any sort of way, lovable and relatable to me. I feel like it was written great, like I enjoyed her style but I just hated the story.
it tries to be this psychological thriller and this whole thing but it really just a matter fact that the kid is a psychopath and there’s like mental health issues in this family so like that’s the bottom line for me like it’s not this like great mystery, and great exploration of motherhood. I just didn’t connect with this & also the husband is a dick!
