Review Detail

Reader reviewed by The Library Lurker

Hmmm...I'm not really sure what to say about this book. It wasn't bad,
but it wasn't great either. I always wanted to pick it up and read more,
but when I actually was reading it wasn't so great. The family dynamics
were basically the whole novel: Shawna's mother left her and her father
for a woman. Her mother dies and she has to deal with Fran, her mothers
partner, and her sons in ways that she never imagined. Her father is a
controlling jerk, and Shawna tries to be perfect for him. It's all about
the relationships.



I never really connected with Shawna, which I thought was a problem. A
lot of the stuff she did I really didn't understand. A lot of the things
that she said I didn't understand. I thought some things were out of
the blue and just put there for more drama. Shawna's relationship with
Arye was a little weird too. One second they hate each other, the next
they don't.



Like I said in the beginning, this book wasn't bad, but it wasn't great.
If you like family drama, this is definitely the book for you.
