review 1: Janet has always wanted a sister and her father has always wanted a large family but due to health issues, Janet's mom is just not able to have more children.In Kindergarden, Janet makes friends with the most unlikeliest classmates, Sophie. Sophie is everything that Janet is not. Janet is soft spoken, cared for, and comes from a "good" home. Sophie is none of those things and due to several family events- ends up spending a good deal of her time at Janet's house.The story is how the two "sisters" grew up. Sometimes in the same house, sometimes seperate but always close.It took me only 2 days to read this book so it did capture and keep my attention although the ending was predictable and there were things I think that could have been brought out in the story that wasn't.Al... morel in all, 3.5
review 2: Well-written story about two best friends who are more like sisters, Janet and Sophie.Janet and Sophie meet in kindergarden and are basically inseparable despite Sophie's eccentric , erratic and later in her teen years outrageous selfish and morally challenged behavior. The two girls are thick as thieves despite and perhaps because of their parents until one relevation destroys their lifelong friendship. The big problem with this novel is that so-called "twist" is obvious from the start. The only person who doesn't see it coming is Janet but the reader knows what's happening after the first chapter. Maybe Ms. Delois did this on purpose or maybe she just couldn't think of anything else to use as a catalyst to drive the storyline. I believe this is Ms. Delois first novel, so I'm hoping this is one area that she will show improvement on in her next book as I look forward to reading it! less
