Rating:  - Left me wondering...
This A.E.Ward novel was a first of hers for me. Yes, I found it very intriguing, but I feel there is some confusion from beginning to end. I was drawn to the entire story as I am the oldest of three sisters. Sisterhood is an inexplicable bond. BUT, the braiding of all the characters, and time lapses just did not do it for me. Upon finishing, I just didn't feel like it truly answered my questions.
Rating:  - Had potential but fell way short of my expectations!
It's not that this book was bad. It had a good plot idea and it was a fast read (I read it in 2 days). However, it left a lot of questions unanswered and the dialogue in it wasn't all that great.

Rating:  - FANTASTIC READ!
I started this book about a year ago and could not get into it. This weekend with nothing to do and a bit of insomnia I picked it back up right where I left off, about 20 pages into it. I could not put it down and I am still thinking about it. At first the letters from Agnes were annoying and I almost skipped right over them. I kept thinking that Agnes was some old lady who was an Aunt of Caroline's ( I don't know why). But as I read more and more, I realized that she sounded ( and actually was) ... Read More
Rating: - Different, but engaging
This book was unlike anything I'd read in the past. It realistically depicted family and sibling relationships, and the narrator, Caroline Winters, was at once deeply troubled and hysterical. I was engaged in this book from cover to cover, mostly because I really wanted to know what happened, not so much because the writing was anything extremely memorable. But the story was engrossing and the ending did not disappoint. A quick summer read.
