This was my second read of this book. It felt poignant and 'festive' for the Thanksgiving holiday, which, for me, always brings up childhood trauma. Every time I watch the movie, read the book, or think about this story, I can't help but wish I'd had ...more

I loved this story. Secluded and consuming setting that isolated the characters. Dynamic and complex characters, each with baggage, complications, and dirty secrets. The ending wasn't as satisfying as I wanted after such a great buildup, though ...more
