I was most intrigued by the boys in the story. How much they cared for the girls. I enjoyed the story from their POV. Good, interesting read.
I felt like so much focus was on Lux throughout the mid-end of the story, that I didn't feel like I got to know Therese, Mary or Bonnie much (or Cecilia, for obvious reason). I'm wondering if it was intentionally written like this, to touch on the idea of the sisters as an entity vs individuals?
I felt I knew the characters so well by the objects they possessed in their house, yet not at all by their actual characteristics. It’s a really weird feeling actually.

I totally get that! In fact, I have been working on my review and there is something along those lines I have been thinking of including.
