review 1: Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I didn't really like any of the characters but they did play off each other fairly well. I guess I was just hoping that Bow Lake would have a bigger part of the story. It was referred to over and over and over again and when it finally had it's time, the story felt stunted for me. I really wonder why the author wrapped it up so quickly as it seemed to me to be a pivotal point for the main characters. Oh well. Next book please...
review 2: The cover of this book is definitely pretty and eye catchy. However, I'm up in the air in regards to this story.I got a sense that we can be connected by a thread to others. It is also true how our past (good and bad) can shape what kind of adults we can turn into. There can be baggage one ... morelugs about on her/his person.I understand the dynamics of the sisters' relationship. The whole semi-confused, love triangle past was disappointing. Like why have that? I understand the whole, younger sister crush thing but with what happened before? That was so not cool and for Lacey to be okay with all that? Really? Too weird for my tastes.I don't know how it is to be diagnosed with such a serious, debilitating disease and have an unknown future. I thought the author covered what a person must be going through well. I also thought how others close to the person are affected was portrayed authentically.I didn't quite get though how Margot enabled Lacey to get her voice back. Yeah each sister was able to unload and pack away her baggage but it seemed more because of what was happening. I felt Lacey's journey throughout the book was just part of the process one goes through with a serious medical diagnosis. So therefore I found the summary on the back of the book misleading. I thought Lacey would have some kind of mechanism or whatever to help her when she can't speak anymore, etc. I thought the book would progress that far down the road of Lacey's journey. less
