Anna, please get a backbone. This whole family just tics me off. Here’s the order of who I would box in the ring; Nicole, Benny, Christopher, parents then Justin. It’s a realistic outlook on a cold family dynamic. I hate the treatment of Anna but she’s the black sheep of the family, but I really don’t like how each time her family do something it would effect her just a little then she goes back to normal. It seems she tries to carry on after each jab but there were some that were inexcusable and she carried on like nothing happened.
The inexcusable jab was when she told her twin brother about her abortion and he then told her sister. When she learned about it she was hurt but then carried on. I think the author should’ve lamented on the betrayal of her brother and the retort she got from her sister. the dynamic between them should’ve changed drastically but she acted the same towards her family.
I liked the ending and the climax was meh. The ghost isn’t as scary as she is disgusting looking.
