I received this book as a gift so I had no idea what it was about ahead of time. It took me a little while to get into it but as I continued reading I began to have a need to learn more about the Parker family and to see how into the predicaments they were in. It is a story about family; about how raw, messed up, loving, complicated, and crazy it can be. It does not shy away from sensitive topics but approaches them in away that does not make the reader feel uncomfortable. The more time I spent reading the book the more I fell in love with it. The "Warning signs" at the beginning of each chapter to signify which character the chapter was about confused me at first until I stumbled across the legend at the end when flipping though. Would definitely recommend this book to friends and I am glad it was gifted to me.
