This book opened up with a big scene and then the story began about a month or two before the incident took place. The characters were pretty unique and different which kind of kept me pulled in to continue reading. It was certainly a slow burn but I felt the pacing was done well. Seeing the dynamic amongst the adults and then the dynamics between the children were so odd I was interested to see why things were they way they were and how they’d play out. I do think the big reveal of who caused the incident and what happened was a bit anticlimactic. And the ending was pretty resolved but also unresolved. However, I felt that did made sense for the type of people the adults were in this book. The book was good just not great but I definitely would like to read more of this author’s work because I enjoyed their writing/storytelling skills!

Yeah, I just...

I have no idea what to make of this book, other than to say I did not like the ending and the parents in this book are easily the most inexplicable of parents ever. I'm not even sure what the point of all this was.

This book had one of my real big hates there were too many characters to keep a track of and for this the book was really not good for me I only read it because I wanted to know what happened to the girl but in the end nothing really got resolved and I think it was a bit of a pointless book but it's just my personal feelings of the book
