I don’t often give 5 star reviews but this was definitely a 5/5 ⭐️ read!
A Nearly Normal Family is a domestic thriller about the trial of 18 year old Stella who stands accused of murdering Christopher, a 32 year old man she develops a relationship with. This book is unique in that it is broken up into three parts, each part told from a different character's point of view: the father, the daughter (Stella) and the mother. The book centers around the questions: How far would you go to protect your family, and how well do you really know your own family?
This book is the definition of a compulsive read, I stayed up all night reading it! I was captivated by and completely engrossed in the story. What I love about the structure of A Nearly Normal Family is you get a glimpse not only of the family dynamic, but you also get a peek into each character's mind. And these characters are not all at what they seem. The image they present to the world and the people they actually are are way different.
If you like psychological thrillers, police procedurals, and character driven stories then you will definitely enjoy A Nearly Normal Family.
