4.0

This is a hard-hitting story of grief and trauma and how a family is ripped apart by loss. I was really gripped by this novel and loved the structure of the three sisters' different narratives. However, this structure became a little too loose towards the end and I was slightly less engaged. But this is a really strong novel, with a story which is heartbreaking at times but ultimately full of hope.
This honest review is given with thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.
