review 1: This book was easy and quick read. The story started out very engaging and made wonder what was going to happen. However, it started to fall short mid way through the book. I was hoping for more character development as they became adults. It seemed that it was the same story of Anne worrying that she had done wrong and she was going to have to suffer the consequences. Also, a fairly predictable ending.
review 2: One of my favorite books of all time is Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah and I pretty much expected this book to be similar, and though there were some similarities (mostly in that it is a story of friendship between two young girls) it ended up being very different and not exactly what I expected - but make no mistake, it was very good nonetheless.... more It is a story of friendship that is told by going back and forth between the present and the past. The thing I liked best about this book is the way the author was able to truly capture the way little girls minds work - I saw so much of myself as a child in both Starr and Annie. Personally, I am a very visual reader, meaning that when I read a good story, I like to be able to really visualize the characters and be able to 'see' what is happening in the book (if that makes sense!) and since most of the stories of the girls' childhoods were set in the 60's, the characters described in the story reminded me very much of the ones in the movie 'The Help' (though the stories are in no way the same)making it very easy to lose yourself in what life was like back then. I absolutely loved the way the characters evolved and thought this was so well written. Thank you Amy Conner for providing such an excellent example of what life used to be like and for sparking old memories of thoughts and shenanigans that I used to get into myself as a young girl :) less
