First of all, I admit I forgot what the book was about. I was just scrolling through my Kindle and forgot what the title even was, I was just in the middle of it, getting back to it after a couple days of not reading on my kindle. Even though I didn't remember what it was about at first, I went through and read. The writing style was great, and felt professional but laid back. The author's characters all had their own personalities.It held my attention because of the husband/wife dynamic. Then it was vacation, then things progressed...and then I remembered. I continued to read all day long, couldn't put the book down.What does this story do, in a nutshell? It's not just about cannibalism, it's about the people who committed it and why. I asked myself some hard questions, and I wondered about them. Say it wasn't another person's daughter, say it was theirs? Would they still have done it? In the end, how did Grant feel?And that twist, that messed up twist at the very end sunk me. This story starts a pleasant 'where to go for vacation', but ends with so much importance. The characters were so real the story made me feel sick.Not a book I will ever read again, I am sure, a one time thing. However, this book moved me emotionally...and for that, it deserves a solid five.
