This book had absolutely everything. It was so good that I’m a bit dazed right now. I liked her previous books too, but this is my new favorite.
The Jaggers were once a tight-knit family. But after their mother’s tragic death years ago, the four children and their father have drifted further apart
After a disturbing, violent Christmas two years ago the Jaggers wish they could forget, they’re reuniting in their childhood southern California home dubbed “the Pink Castle” to give celebrating the holidays one more shot this year. But in the days before they gather, the children each get a sinister note that reads ‘Your mother was murdered’
Everything in the book appealed to me; The superb writing, that blew my mind away. Her writing style just flows effortlessly, and there are tons of interesting and sometimes funny dialogues.I have added some of my favorite quotes to show how skilled Gardner is. The plot and the alternating POVs. My favorite character was January herself. It was so interesting to see how bot reasons and learn and found ways to overcome her programming.
The ending was really something. I won’t say to much, other than it was genius. You will understand if you pick up this gem and I promise you hours of satisfying reading. I want to read it AGAIN at once.
Quotes I liked
‘I put a cork in my secret bottle of wishes’
‘I find it interesting that humans can exist in the past and present at the same time’
‘I think I might be discovering that a world exists between a lie and a truth’
‘It seems like the more we talk, the more I have to say’
‘It seems like a house of card ready to blow over at a whisper’
Thank you mirror house press and netgally for this very much appreciated ARC.
