3.0

I loved it, until I didn't. The beginning really sucked me in with the back and forth between the parents story and the kids story. The second half of the book was filled with random stories of people we had no idea who they were, and their point in the story. I found they were pointless and unnecessary and took away from the main characters. I did finish it, and if this story would be turned into a series or cheesy soap opera, I would 100% watch it.
