An amazing tale of familial betrayal and responsibility. I was so mad at the aunt for undermining the mom Jenny's parenting and letting Diana run her life! But that was secondary to Diana being cruel to her sister. Even if Diana's in jail, I ended the book worried about what would happen to Rachel's family once Diana got out. Sure, Rachel will be "prepared", but Diana is vindictive and Rachel took away her painting. If Diana got out, I feel she'll kill Rachel and Rachel's family.
Graphic: Murder and Gaslighting
Moderate: Forced institutionalization
