I debated giving it a .25 star rating because I was interested in what happened to Sylvie but the end was just. so bad. 
she killed herself because she was in love with her cousin who was actually her brother. They were fine with the cousins thing but she drew the line at siblings. He was still trying to be with her after they found out but she was like “no, you’re finally telling the truth you can’t lie about this” and then drove into the water??? yeah

The story was slow but the twists were shocking. Ma’s chapters were the best and explains why Pa never speaks. I wanted to like it more than I did.

The book was written really well, but it was a tough read. Sylvie is severely emotionally abused, and it made it hard to read the book for long stretches at a time. Sylvie's romantic feelings for
Lukas
also made me uncomfortable.
