This book is a quick and addictive read! I liked this book more than I thought I would. I saw a lot of middle-of-the-road reviews, but many of them cite the fact that this is not much of a thriller. That is true, it is more of a family drama/suspenseful drama kind of book. But since I knew that going in... I guess it didn't bother me as much.
The book begins with a girl showing up at a family dinner and claiming to be the love-child of the recently deceased patriarch of the family. She has the DNA to prove it. Will this be the straw that breaks the camel's back for this family who is already growing apart?
I liked the characters' struggles and found the book kept me flipping pages! I was confused by the ending a bit. I don't want to give anything away, but I thought some people were a bit too forgiving. I also maybe wish that the half sister's motives were a little more sketchy and sinister than they turned out to be, but all in all it was a quick, engaging read.
MY RATING:
Characters: 4
Story: 3
Overall: 3.5 stars
