You know you are reading a good book when you are having conversations with the characters. I was actually telling them what to do or not do. Amanda and Erin are sisters who are as different as night and day. Amanda likes things in order and Erin lives by the seat of her pants. They are sisters though and that bond is a hard one to break. Both have been hurt by their family but both want to have a strong relationship. When Amanda's husband leaves her pregnant and high and dry, it is her family that she turns to. When Erin breaks up with her boyfriend, she turns to her family. Together, they will work it out.

I got annoyed with their mother. I admit it. She had this need to not let things out of the family because of the shame. She had her reasons but she was definitely one of the people I was gently talking to. Or not so gently.

I loved the evolving of the sisters. They are both such layered characters and with glimpses of their past, we understood exactly where both were coming from. I would love to see what happens next in their lives. Hint hint.

Thanks to Netgalley and Montlake for an advance copy of this book. I look forward to the next installment.
