5.0

i absolutely loved this book, especially the way it was written. i initially thought this would be a murder mystery with the family trying to find out what happened to lydia since the blurb only really talked about her death, but what i got was a story about the inner dynamic and relationships of a family.

i loved the storyline with the flashbacks and different perspectives from the family members, and how each also had their opinion on certain things. i definitely related to this book a lot, especially to nath, since i also come from an asian family whose siblings act the same way.

each sentence was very purposeful and had a lot of impact. very intriguing and heartfelt <3
