4.0

I saw someone on here say that this is a "3-star book with a 5-star message" and I wholeheartedly agree, so I'm meeting in the middle at 4 stars.

This novel follows two very different sisters from their picture perfect (but not really) childhood in the 1950s all the way up through the older sister's death in 2016. There are many predictable parts of this story, but it makes sense because their family could be ANYONE'S. So many parts of this story are relatable.

I think what I liked reading about most in this story was about the parenting relationships throughout the years. How parents are just trying their best, but they fail and then try again. It's heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time.
