This book flashes through viewpoints in each chapter, and each character is right and justified in all of their actions. I am very close to my sister. She's the most important person in my life. Sisterhood and love are some major themes in this book. My heart was broken at the end of this book. Truly broken. I cannot wait to get angry at the film adaptation.

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. “This is her pond but my lily pads”? 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.
