review 1: This book is a little special. Not everyone will have a satisfying reading experience.Leigh managed to create a mysterious setting, it’s getting more and more mysterious and you start to question every character in this book. But none of it is solved in the end which makes this book so special and difficult. No monsters under the bed, no tragic secret. The reader will never know what horror has fallen over this family. If there ever was one.What’s left is a story of motherly love, of gripping tight and letting loved ones go.
review 2: I found this novella to be truly awful. I wanted to like it, I really did. The plot and description of the characters seemed to be a story right up my alley, but after 30 pages of the only 121 pg book, I couldn't take it any... more more. Every sentence seemed to be trying too hard, several other reviews say "crafted with care" or beautifully written", but these beautiful words, but did not equate to a beautiful or believable story, for me. Every interaction seemed awkward, every event overly dramatic, too many things were unexplained and I found it to be very distracting. I really hate to be so harsh, but after reading all the reviews and praise written on the cover, I was truly disappointed. less
