Prior to reading the book it gives you the Warning: "May invoke feelings of irritation, dread, and despair that come with large family gatherings." I've never heard something more accurate. 60% of the time I was so annoyed with this family dynamic and I wanted to yell at them! The other 40% was me wanting the MFC to stand up for herself a little more, or maybe more directly. Of course, these characters needed to be who they were for the story to unfold the way it did.
Nothing about this book is what I thougt would be and it was refreshing. The story starts off with what appears to be a typical, at least for this family, family vacation and slowly morphs into the vacation of nightmares.
If you want a haunted family vacation in Italy, read this book.
My only dislike was the ending. It was a good ending! But I wanted a little more detail and closure/ follow-up with certain family members. It felt a little open-ended.
There are a few triggers, but nothing extreme. Most of these area briefly mentioned with no great detail.
