Many poor reviews, just noticed that this was originally published in 2022. I don’t know if revisions were made but it clearly hasn’t made much difference. These characters are so un-relatable that I often found myself cringing when they spoke. It seems no one has a “vertebrae” as Lucia would call it. I found it to be an outrageous story told by unreliable characters with a ridiculous, unresolved ending.

I was very emotionally involved in this novel. My husband kept hearing me say I hope someone kills him, not my usual reaction to a book. Ray is such an odious character and the depiction of the hold he maintained over his family is realistic and horrible. Over the past 7 years, we have seen horrible behavior and no one stands up to the bully in question. This is the same but on a much smaller scale. Read it to find out what happens.

Great book about family dynamics. Occasionally funny. Characters were very well drawn and credible. Story line moved at a pace. No word waster. I read it in 3-4 days.

Interesting story about a dysfunctional family and the wife's subservience to the husband. Professional jealousy abounds, and I can imagine this to be true. The two daughters and the son seemed a little less believable but a marriage relationship such as this could have some pretty dramatic consequences for the children. There were some aspects of the writing that I didn't like, but I would probably try another of Mendelson's books if it fell into my hands at the local library.
