4.0
What in the looney toons just happened. Hold on while I pick my brain up off the floor. I admit this was super odd yet awesome. Now at times you will be like “WHAT…THE...EFF?” and you might think to yourself I should just stop but DON’T. This book is worth reading till the end.
Let’s meet the characters, shall we?
Mary Olivia Pentecost AKA Mop- Johanna’s daughter
Johanna- the sister of Aunty Liv
Aunty Liv-Sister to Johanna and Aunt to Mop
This novel is told in Mop’s point of view and her Aunty Liv’s, mainly jumping around all over the place from past and present within a two-year time frame. The story mainly revolves around that two years ago Mop’s mother died at Liv’s estate. Apparently, a fire broke out and she jumped off a cliff into the water, but her body has ever been found. HMMM…?
Since this tragedy Aunty Liv has shut herself away from the world. To help her fully grieve, Mop decides it is time to reunite with Aunty Liv but what she finds is more disturbing than she can handle. What secrets lie in this family, what is hidden in the barn, in the rooms?
Wellllll this stirred the pot of crazy for me. I enjoyed trying to figure out what was going on and who was the real crazy was of the bunch.
