Can she heal their relationship —and her sister—before it’s too late.
Review: I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. Although, the plot is a little bit slow in the beginning, things start to pick up as things start to steadily get worse. This is definitely a character driven plot that explores the sibling relationship really well, while also delving into some serious issues. I also appreciated that the romance of this book was really slow paced and took the whole length of the book to develop. I thought it was a nice change from the books that make the romance the center of the plot. The characters in this book were very well written. I really Liked Loann and Claire. They were both very complicated characters and the exploration of their relationship and their issues really made the book great. I liked Marcus as well, even though his story didn't get quite as much face time I thought he was a really awesome guy. Overall, I liked this book a lot more than i was expecting to and would recommend it to fans of contemporary books like this. review
