Advanced reader's copy review
This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2024 and it did not disappoint. For starters, I loved the premise, and it was so well executed. The entire book was filled with mystery and tension as the siblings tried to understand what had happened and more and more information came to light. There was also tension within the sibling relationships, which added a complex layer to the story as they tried to navigate being around each other again. I really enjoyed their dynamics and the switching points of view that allowed all of their thoughts to be read. And on top of it all there is the grief they are all experiencing with losing their mother. All these elements came together to create an amazing story with an amazing atmosphere. Of course, there were still a couple of things I struggled with. I found the pacing a bit slow, especially in the middle. And I didn't like the ending, which felt cliche and overused, or the epilogue which felt too perfect. But overall I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!
