For a debut book, this is really good stuff. Nice editing and good control over the pace. However, this is not a thriller per se. It's more of a psychological family drama. The second-person narration is what gives the book an extra hold over the readers. The ending, though it didn't have any unexpected twists of sorts (for which I'm glad), was a bit lukewarm and mild. Almost as if I knew it would happen, and it did.
Overall, this is a good read but don't expect the thriller's thrills. Luckily, I was more prepared, and that helped me look at the book without its genre.
