review 1: I was very indifferent about this book. I read it fairly quickly, which obviously is usually an indicator that I really enjoy and am wrapped up in a book, but after I finished the book I felt that it was just "alright". The ending also had me torn by feeling both happy that I did find out what happened to the characters in the future, but also disappointed that the author seemed to wrap it up so quickly, especially in comparison to the slower pace in which the book moved.
review 2: Thoroughly enjoyed this one, and totally pleasantly surprised. I picked it up b/c the cover screamed "light chick lit quick read for the long weekend"--and the blurb (something about "in the style of Jennifer Weiner" ) backed up that first impression. But this book was a lot more... more. Interesting story of two sisters (reminded me a bit of "Jacob Have I Loved"--remember that great one?!?), growing up, growing together, growing apart, but primarily a tale of the narrator and her life: wonderful, awesome mundane daily grind. Very realistic portrayal of those moments in life when (i assume) most women wonder, "How did i get here?" Lots of big questions raised, wrestled with and mostly resolved.The author has a strong, unique voice and a deft hand with prose. Definitely worth reading. less
