thanks, Aidan, for this recommendation.  I love reading a book where the cover and title appear to make no sense at the start, but their relevance is gradually revealed.  This was one of those.  Interesting comparisons of various types of dysfunctional families.  Kept me guessing the whole time and the ending was very satisfying.

I thought it was a great mystery thriller! It took me a while to get into it and figure out all the characters. A few less characters would have made this book a higher score for me and the pacing was slow. But overall when it all came together it was satisfying to figure out both mysteries of these 2 missing siblings.

Even though it has a slow start, I enjoyed the story a lot! It took me a bit to get used to the time jumps and the names, even more when they introduced new characters and I had to really pay attention before I understood who they were and their place in the story, but it was amazing. The story made me cry and smile and sometimes be so angry, the ending was very satisfying, and I'm sure I'll be thinking about the characters for a while. Really enjoyed this!
