(4) YA Reserved teen Iris quietly suffers living with her unstable, gold-digging mother while nurturing dangerous pyromania. When they visit Iris's dying absentee father in rural England, Iris's mother angles for his valuable art collection, while Iris is bewildered to learn that the father she's been taught to hate has always loved her. This brief family drama is intense, but the short timeline leaves characters feeling half-formed.
