I'm not into family drama but I'm sure it's a captivating book. The characters, the mystery, and the topics in the book sound engaging.

This novel sounds so intriguing, and I'm curious to learn more about Rachael's disappearance. Pearl River Mansion, with its mysteries and secrets, seems like the perfect backdrop for a family drama to unfold. The length of the novel and the quality of the writing indicate that the author gives the reader a detailed and captivating story with well-developed characters that will ensure an immersive reading experience. Thanks for the thorough and well-written review!

This will be worth reading seeing that it was the 2020 book of the year. There seems to be a lot going on in the Chandler family. Who could be behind Rachael's disappearance? Interesting review.

This book sounds incredibly intense and, in many ways unfortunately, all too realistic. It’s sad to see a kid get caught up in adults’ self-serving natures in custody battles that can quickly turn dangerous for the kid. The mystery of Rachael’s disappearance is enticing, and I would love to know how it affects Tyler as her father (despite the fact that he was going to give custody to someone else) and her twin, Cody. Thank you for the helpful review.

This highly suspenseful family drama set in a mansion, also with a lot of other interesting stuff to look out for, interests me. Besides, it was also "2020 Book of The Year". Thank you for the review!
The disappearance of the word "I am" is indeed the highest happiness! :)
