Juno know that to keep her family safe they have to follow the seven commandments. This is a thriller that looks at the dark side of family dynamics and could be triggering to some readers. There is child abuse and kidnapping in this story. This is also translated fiction so some of my issues with this book may be because things change in translation.
For me the characters were interesting and kept me wanting to learn more about them. From the very beginning the reader knows that there is something weird about Juno and Boy's life but we are figuring out things the same way that they are and seeing how each character handled the information was intersting.
The plot was good but I had some issues with the pacing. I felt like the events were happening quickly but also it felt like there should have been more time then just a few days for the whole plot to happen. I found the plot still interesting and was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened.
I think that the writing was one of the best parts of this book. It is definitely obvious that this author has honed his craft and I am excited to see more from this author.
The setting was my second favorite part because the isolated setting was very claustrophobic and I loved that element of this book. If you love isolated setting I feel like this is a book to pick up.
I had fun reading this book so my enjoyment was high I think that it also helped that I was able to sit down and binge the second half of this book in one day.
