review 1: This was definitely not what I expected. It was depressing, annoying and not really all that good. Luckily it was a quick read.The book is centered around the relationship of two half-sisters. They share an interesting story. Peachy marries and has children young and stays at their home, a farm, in Canada. Beth, her sister, moves to NYC as fast as she can, and apparently turns into a huge bitch. They have two very different lives, but they intersect at some strange points.I guess my favorite part of this book was at the end when Peachy goes to NYC, but that's pretty much it's only redeeming quality.
review 2: I picked this book up at the library after reading the first sentence, "Until she left the farm for good, I never thought much about what made me di... morefferent from my sister." The relationship between the two sisters and the family was a bit over the top; could all of these things really happen in one family? Then at once my answer was Yip-sure could, kind of sounds like home in a totally different way of course.Beth left the farm; Peachy stayed, got married young and had two kids. Beth had loads of money and success; Peachy, the farm and family. But it is Peachy’s life I wound up relating to in the end, not Beth’s. I imagine it would be the opposite for my own sister. To choose staying on the farm for a lifetime or moving to New York she’d be gone; I would stay. So the differences in sisters was reinforced and made me think of my own sisters and our differences.At one point in this book, I was feeling like, why continue? A book I really wanted to read just came in and I felt I was wasting my time with this book. Now after finishing it, I have to say, just keep reading! My favorite part is when Peachy goes to New York; the way she handles herself and returns home to the farm and I thought the ending was good. The author tells things as they are, not sugar coating anything, and I ultimately found it to be a nice change. less
