I cried a few times in this book. I truly loved it. Though hard to read, each of the characters were relatable in a way and you really grow to love each one in their own way.

I can relate so much to the sisters in this book for deeply personal reasons.  My mum passed away from a brain tumour in 1991.  This book reverberates in my heart for so many reasons,  and will stay with me for the rest of my life
