review 1: Told in chapters that alternate between Sylvia the adult and Sylvia the child, Ostermiller tells a story that twice demonstrates the impact of infidelity. Sylvia and her older sister, Ali, live with a father who is often distant and cruel, and a weak mother with a long-term "boyfriend" who is part of the fabric of their lives. As a result of her upbringing, Sylvia also pursues an extramarital relationship at the expense of her own family. A very good book.
review 2: Good character development, mother-daughter book. What happens to a family when unresolved ghosts of the past lurk in today. Easy, relaxing read. This book somewhat answered what makes messed up people messed up, but then what made the first person messed up? It was a little trite here and ther... moree, but the story did sell itself. One part, I was beginning to think was a little too cliche, but then it completely worked itself out and was right on the money fitting into what would really happen in this girl's world. It held my attention and I read it straight through, which is my biggest indicator of a book. Felt that the writing flowed as well. I could feel empathy for the characters, while they are completely out of sync with my own life and personality. less
