Had high hopes for this one - I bought it a good few years ago but didn't reach for it for some reason. Then my mom highly recommended it after recently reading out so I thought it was time. I found the characters boring and VeryI didn't care for them at all, like didn't care if they succeeded or failed or anything. Unsympathetic. The plot twist was nice but it made the characters even less realistic and the ending was a complete disappointment. I recommended my mom a different book from the same sort of genre, and an amazing one imo - We Need To Talk About Kevin
