This was an easy and enjoyable read. To some degree this book felt more YA than Adult Fiction, maybe it's because the protagonist was an 18-year-old teenager. I feel like the characters in the Brandt household have 21st century thinking but they're all stuck in a 17th century world.
Moderate: Animal cruelty and Animal death
Minor: Grief and Gaslighting
