The book is a very well written emotional story about two sisters discovering one another after the death of their father.

I truly enjoyed the story, but felt as though the pacing was incredibly slow. This gave the author the ability to deeply explain and develop each character, but may have left some readers losing interest in the characters’ lengthy internal monologues. It is a matter of personal taste, and the book overall was great.
