Nobody in this book is hateable. Not even Sara. She is written as an incredibly driven woman who will stop at nothing to save her daughter. Unfortunately her other kids get forgotten in the process but she regrets, she makes it right. âThis is her pond but my lily padsâ? Shaving her head for Kate? Honestly Jesse got the wayyyy short end of the straw but he also almost killed someone.
The ending is⊠so so.

D'une part, l'histoire qui est à la fois palpitante et poignante. J'ai voulu gazer à travers ce livre tant je voulais savoir la suite. Le sujet, au goût du jour, est aussi trÚs stimulant et donne matiÚre à réfléchir.
Il y a aussi les personnages qui sont attachants malgré leurs défauts. On a envie de tout leur pardonner
D'autre part, il y a le style d'Ă©criture qui pour moi n'est pas au rendez-vous. J'ai trouvĂ© beaucoup de passages denses de mots et lourds. Ăa ne se lisait pas de façon fluide et aisĂ©e partout au mĂȘme moment.
De plus, chaque chapitre relate le point de vue d'un personnage différent, parfois de façon linéaire à l'histoire mais souvent pas du tout. Sauts dans le passé et retour au présent sont sensés nous aider à comprendre la mentalité de tous et le dilemme de chaque personnage... mais j'ai trouvé que l'exercice n'était pas fluide, souvent pesant et frustrant. Certains points de vue n'apportent rien, sont ennuyant et apportent du mystÚre mal exécuté (
En rĂ©alitĂ©, sans cette histoire qui Ă©tait moralement prenante, je n'aurais pas continuĂ© le livre tant le style ne me convenait pas. J'ai tout de mĂȘme un sentiment trĂšs positif en le finissant car j'ai rĂ©ussi Ă me faire une place au sein de la famille Fitzgerald et Ă rire et pleurer tout au long des drames et bonheurs qui ponctuent leur vie.
Je recommande tout de mĂȘme de lire ce livre et de se poser Ă la fin pour tenter de rĂ©pondre aux questions qu'il soulĂšve... Une bonne claque morale qui nous rappelle que la limite entre le bien et le mal n'est pas si nette !
