COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Did Not Like submitted by monkk on June 24, 2013, 7:35pm I expected to like this book about a troubled mother/daughter relationship, and even though it touched on subjects that I usually like to read about, I couldn't get into it. It moved too slowly for me, but I finished it hoping for an interesting ending. I was disappointed.
Loved it submitted by aohall on July 10, 2015, 7:43am I loved this book. I thought it was beautifully written. The pace is somewhat slow, but that allows the reader time to get into the heads of the different characters. I would highly recommend it.
