I kind of liked this book and also I kind of hated it. The writing is nice, as in all of her books. But I really didn’t like the ending. Spoilers ahead. What kind of ending is that?? The mentally ill father just turns up again and is healed and well so that they can be a family again. Happily ever after. I hated that. Seems like the author has no idea how mental illness works and just used this sensitive topic to make the book more interesting. And then the most important thing: Grace is not only not dead, but barely injured. We know who gave her the sleeping pills and we know why but there are literally NO consequences for either of them. They all live happily ever after. What a great lesson to teach young people. And then Leo. My god, what an asshole of a man and everyone keeps protecting him. He is disgustingly close to the kids and touchy as hell and his wife finds out that he kissed another woman and pretended to be that girls dad and that’s somehow okay? Again, everyone’s lives happily ever after with no consequences at all. I hated the message of the book which was basically you can do whatever the hell you want without any consequences.
