This felt like several books glued together. It starts going in one direction: a woman searching for her father, and her own identity. Then that arc ends and the book goes in a totally different direction: a story of love and mental health. And then that arc ends and the book suddenly goes in a totally different direction, which I’ll avoid listing here to avoid spoilers. The last arc is a pretty massive departure from the others, but arguably the most fun one.
The writing and characters are great, so it’s a good read overall, as is always the case with Lehane, but be aware that it starts a bit slow, and the jumps are a bit jarring.
