Another mystery which was not altogether unexpected but another book I devoured in a matter of days. I could really relate to Lucy's displacement with her family and sometimes feeling like an outsider, especially as the rest of her family stayed in the same place whilst she moved away. It was an interesting novel full of family dynamics, the need to move on but being tied to the past in a way that can't quite be explained. Whilst I did find the book to be a quick read I just couldn't get invested in most of the characters and did find Lucy a little self indulgent at times.
