Alternating chapters between different characters and the nature surrounding them. It was as if the landscape and animals around the loch were another character on its own, looking on at the events of the people.

We see the daily lives inside each cabin with frustrations and bigotry towards the Ukrainian family throwing parties late at night.

Some characters are extremely unlikeable and I couldn’t wait for their chapters to end like Lola and the dads/husbands. I Liked some characters more than others like Milly and David were my favorites.

Beautiful writing and storytelling from Moss! This was my first book from her and I can’t wait to read more. Normally I wouldn’t read this type of book where nothing significant happens plot wise, but the writing just held my attention and made me want to finish the book!

That ending was intense but abrupt and incomplete otherwise it would’ve been a 5 star read.
