We get this complex family saga that pulls you and it’s filled with so much drama and so many secrets. It’s told alternately between the past and present with 3 different POVs from Oz, Deborah, and Trinity. As the novel progresses we see how the characters lives were before and after Oz disappeared.

I really couldn’t get into Trinity’s chapters and didn’t care much for her character. I honestly felt the story would’ve been just as great without her input. Now between Oz and Deborah we get a lot of crazy truths, some background history, a lot of untold secrets, a series of betrayal and a vivid setting that adds to the atmosphere of the story.

It’s very layered and as you read, you’ll notice the book primarily stems around Oz. His presence and disappearance caused a major disruption in the life of all the characters. It was his selfish actions that nearly ruined Deborah and I blame him for her drinking problem. Instead of owning up to everything he’s done he abandons his family out of guilt. The author did a great job keeping what happened to Oz a mystery until nearly the end which really helped advance the plot. It was really interesting to see the internal and external struggles Oz had to deal with.

Overall, I loved the book it’s filled with so many memorable characters definitely sympathized with Oz’s brother Tommy. It flowed perfectly, was well-developed, and beautifully written. So much happened in this novel it’s a must you give it a read!!!
