review 1: I was really hoping to like this book, because I enjoy the southern charm of a quirky eccentric family. However I just felt like the message behind the book made the writing far too contrived. And ultimately it is depressing that Ashley can only obtain artistic fame after having a paint fueled rage once she is date raped and a victim of physical domestic violence. Frank tries to paint some sort of happy ending however it is lack luster.
review 2: From the very first chapter of a book, I can tell if I'm going to be pulled into a riveting story that I won't want to stop reading until the last sentence is done, or if I'll be skipping over large chunks of the story to get to that last sentence. Unfortunately for this book, it was the latter. There was no storyli... morene development, just a series of dull events from dull and ill thought out characters who I just couldn't grow to like. Domestic abuse is obviously an important issue, and one that Frank clearly feels strongly about, but the way she tried to incorporate it into the story using Ashley and Liz's characters felt preachy and rushed.Sorry, but on the strength of this book I wouldn't feel compelled to read another by this author.* Thank you to the publishers for providing me with a free copy through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. less
