review 1: This was a beautifully written novel. I thought the characters and the way the way they dealt with the situations in their lives was really realistic. I also thought that alternating perspectives helped this novel. Unfortunately, I thought that the ending of this novel was very abrupt and felt like a cop-out. The reader is left with too many unanswered questions. I don't mind open endings but I feel like the author put her characters in such difficult situations that she didn't know how to solve them. I also felt that Sloane's dilemma was glossed over and not explored with the same finesse that the other characters and their side situations were dealt with. Overall, this was a surprisingly intense yet engrossing read.
review 2: I was really surprised by how muc... moreh I liked this. I thought from the book description that it would be a book about demonizing parents for forgetting to be parents but I was surprised by how it was not like that at all. It was more about how stress can manifest differently in everyone and how sometimes the person with the most pain, fear and stress can be the one most sensitive to others. I particularly liked the relationship between the sisters and thought it was realistic and hopeful. The way the book concludes makes me wonder if that relationship is what the book wants to emphasize most. less
