@funkysti hey, thanks for replying, but want to ask, have u actually read it or you are saying this based on book description? Anyways I just want to clear one thing, that this book is not all about punishments and discipline. This is about the transition from being kids of the house to actually being an adult in the real world. There is no verbal mistreatment or harsh punishments in this story. I myself am against that. But I agree that at few instances you might feel that in the first few chapters of the story but later the story is all gonna be about them trying to fight their own ghost of struggles and rising beyond it. At least that's my goal. But again if you don't like brother-sister duo stories then this really might not be interesting for you. Thanks for providing your POV, it did give me understanding of how readers see it.
