What happens when families don't talk

Essentially this book is about a group of people who's most firm connection to each other is their lack of communication. No one 'really' speaks to anyone. It's an allegory of how assumptions and fear leads to barriers.

A decent read - but not all that 'enjoyable'.

Boring

Sarah Shepherd is known for some amazing writing. I loved all her pretty little liars books. I couldn’t put them down, but this book was significantly boring. I felt like it had no real plot.

Disjointed and highly annoying

There are few words that can describe how annoying this book was. There was absolutely no plot to speak of and each character annoyed me to tears.
