review 1: I liked the writing, a lot. I liked 2/3rds of the book. A lot. I liked the characters, for the most part, a lot. I read through this book within a day and a half. I'm giving this 3.5 stars because Abate introduced us to some very complex characters who I assumed would be featured throughout the entire book, but just disappeared. There was no closure and tying up of events enough to give me the satisfaction I wanted to feel after reading this type of book. The ending felt a bit forced and again, didn't feel that the book tied it up enough for me.
review 2: There was much of this book that I loved. The characters are well developed and layered. The lies are so hurtful and damage so many lives....even long after the event. Barbara Forte Abate does show how des... moretructive guilt, even misplaced guilt, can confuse and confound. I did find the book wordy at times though I loved the way she strings words together and sets a scene. The last part of the book seemed a little less clear and open....maybe a bit rushed? I look forward to more of the works of this author. less
