I really wanted to like this book, it had all the makes of a masterpiece but it fell short chapter by chapter. I felt the author should have done a better job of developing the characters, there was no depth to them so they came off as three whiny girls. At one point I got so frustrated with the constant complaining I was ready to end the book. I just felt the book was really surface level and could have been better.

This story was intriguingly sad where the father and mother ended up existing with their daughters managing the household themselves. They refer to their mother as before and after the 'change'. Their mother seemed traumatized by her husband who would react violently and throw her and her children out of the house on occasion, until his pride caused him to make a big mistake. He withdrew into himself, and his wife never forgave him. She became a recluse, stopped going out and withdrew from her friends, and didn't do anything for her husband and daughters in the house other than yell and bark orders at them. A total mess.
