review 1: I just finished this book and I would like to say I would have given the story mpre stars if Mallory wasnt included in this. If I was casey I would have whooped mallory all over that house coming up in there like she owns the place telling casey about michael the do's and dont's bitch if I wanted your measley ass opinion I would have asked for it. Poor dylan, Angel was a bitch like her mama, Michael was an idiot passive man who didnt know how to stand up for himself or anybody but making excuses for Mallory. The fact they slept in the same bed with casey on the couch was enough to make me snap! let me wake up and see my fiance sleeping in the same bed missing kid or not. This book pissed me off so bad I finished it but all this passive drama kills me. I love nitty gritty b... moreut that girl upside the head for talking to you like that not "Oh well let me sit down and act like nothing happened" na not me this kind of book isnt raw enough for me too gentle my kinda book casey would have hurt Mallory.
review 2: I have mixed feelings about this story. The author captured the chaos of everyday life very well - divorce, stressful parent/child relationships, job loss, addiction, grief - these are realities for many families. But overall, I didn't like the characters themselves that much - they seemed at once too weak and too rigid. Michael's comparisons of Mallory and Casey drove me nuts, as did Mallory's immaturity and Casey's failure to truly stand up for herself. I kept hoping she'd really have it out with Michael, Mallory, and Angel, but despite her brief chat with Angel she never really did so. I loved Riggle's novel Keepsake, and certainly want to read more of her work, but this one just fell flat for me. less
