A death in the family rarely brings out the best in people - even the deceased.
Jonathan Coulter planned for his death meticulously, leaving nothing to chance. His will states that his three adult children must decide between them how to dispose of his estate. If they cannot come together over their inheritance, then they risk losing it.
But Liv, Noah and Chloe never agree on anything. And now, with only one weekend to overcome their rivalry, tensions begin to rise.
Why has Jonathan left the decision to them? And why has he made no mention of his new partner, Megan, or the children's mother, Eloise? If he wanted to teach them a lesson from beyond the grave, what is it? And can the siblings put their differences aside for long enough to learn it?

I liked the complex characters and family dynamics. The writing style was beautiful and really enjoyable, but at some points it felt a little flat for me.
I enjoyed the book in overall, but I would be lying if I said I couldn’t put this book down. I think it’s one of those reads, where you find out little by little the story of each character and the reasons behind their actions, but it’s not very fast paced and not that suspenseful that you can’t help but keep reading it, if that makes sense?
Unfortunately for me the ending wasn’t as good as I hoped. Don’t get me wrong - it’s not a bad ending; it’s still very well laid out, but with such strong storyline I was waiting for a major twist but it just never came.
I would still recommend this to anyone who enjoys character led stories which reveal secrets page by page. Just don’t go in expecting suspenseful read because this isn’t it.
