Book of The Month discussion

Emma hasn't told her husband much about her past. He knows her parents are dead and she hasn't spoken to her sisters in years. Then they lose their apartment, her husband gets laid off, and Emma discovers she's pregnant―right as the bank account slips into the red.

That's when Emma confesses that she has one more asset: her parents' house, which she owns jointly with her estranged sisters. They can't sell it, but they can live in it. But returning home means that Emma is forced to reveal her secrets to her husband: that the house is not a run-down farmhouse but a stately mansion, and that her parents died there.

Were murdered.

And that some people say Emma did it.

Emma and her sisters have never spoken about what really happened that night. Now, her return to the house may lure her sisters back, but it will also crack open family and small-town secrets lots of people don’t want revealed. As Emma struggles to reconnect with her old family and hold together her new one, she begins to realize that the things they have left unspoken all these years have put them in danger again.

(view spoiler)[ woah, what is going on with these sisters?

I was surprised to see they hadn't kept in touch. It seems like, after their lie, they would have been thick as thieves

but the other older and younger sisters seem . . .off.
Who does that? watches someone sleep and take care of them but never visit or talk to them? and track them?! WHAT!?

and then the older seems diabolical! She was quick to sell out the middle sister and her boyfriend!! Interesting that she ALSO had an older boyfriend.

this is an odd family, I can't wait to find out more.

oh, and I really dislike Nathan. I hope, in the end, she ditches him (hide spoiler)]

through Chapter 35

(view spoiler)[ WOW! the husband was killed?! that wasn't something I saw coming. But now, do we assume that JJ did it? and why, because he found the gun and (probably) the drive.

I don't know why the sister's still aren't talking. . .I mean, JJ and Daphne clearly have secrets between them
and now she know Daphne helped her mom pass (yikes)

but is that because they are both covering for Emma - who doesn't remember killing her parents?
or one of the other sister's did it?

That comment that JJ said - that if you blackout, you aren't aware enough to make memories - I wonder if that's what happened to the parents? (hide spoiler)]
