Snow Lane by Josie Angelini

3.0

In Snow Lane we get a brief look into the difficult life of Annie. We are more aware of the difficulties that Annie faces than she is. As the youngest of 9 children with an overwhelmed mother and a mostly absent father Annie has never know a different life. Annie's family life comes to a breaking point when her next oldest sister runs away and her parents are no longer able to keep the cracks (gaping holes) from showing. There are bright spots in Annie's life though, namely her friends Kristin and Jordan. I enjoyed this read but it does end rather abruptly in my opinion. It is an interesting look at an experience that is entirely different from my own and I expect, different from most of the young readers who will pick this up.
I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
