I didn't really have high hopes for this book, it was just one I'd picked up from the library and thought, oh this might be interesting and normally those books don't turn out great. I was wrong though this book was really good. One of my favourite things about this book was the writing and the way Robing Benway wrote the relationships between the siblings because it felt so real and raw. Definitely a book I will be recommending.
