I just finished chapter 12. It goes quick, there’s a lot of information and I try to soak it all in. The author has done a great job of painting the imagery and Arthur, describing some of what has happened and will happen, enough to pique interest and to make one think but not too much either.

SPOILERS - 1) holy shit everything with griffin and Alice and Jack… I think Jack liked the idea of Alice long before he met her, maybe he liked her more than just that but there’s something… more 2) I still feel like part of the game would be them winning by standing up to what their dad wanted 3) I think Elizabeth and Mike/Mark had an affair and Sam is their child, why Frank doesn’t like him as much

Just finished chapter 11 and I had to pause to take a minute. The family dynamics are mind blowing as much as they are heart wrenching and I love how Sarah has woven them together and displayed it in a believable yet awful way.

“What was favorite when compared to essential”

My goodness. Spoilers ahead!

I don’t like half the people in the family and from what Jack said about Frank being proud of Alice I’m wondering if these “trials” are supposed to be awful and hard because he wants them to fail, for example Greta having to break her own heart, if she doesn’t then she stands up to him and they fail. Sam just needs character building. I don’t like him at all!

The family dynamics are well written and described while also keeping so much a secret from the reader for now
