This was not what I was expecting. I thought I was picking up a mystery, and there was a mystery element. In my opinion that is not the main focus. This felt more like a contemporary literary novel that focused on the characters development and interpersonal relationships and development. In particular the two sisters it focuses on. This did an amazing job of showing that well, while mixing in a mystery element to keep the story moving and adding suspense. Not what I normally read, but really enjoyed
