I wasn't really expecting this to have some serious subject matter. I thought it would be mainly fun sister vs sister stuff, but it did have some things in it that I wasn't expecting. BUT those things shaped these two women's lives and made them who they are today to tell their story. It also reminded me a lot of my own sister. Oh, we hated each other, but when we get together, we always laugh about something from when we were kids - not the pizza stain on the ceiling, but the time I made her cry because I convinced she was from Mars or the time I got in trouble for trading her dimes for nickels (well, dimes are smaller and therefore worth more, sheesh!). If you have a sibling - and are sisters - you'll find a lot of heartwarming (and heartbreaking) stories in here. Give it a read.

I found this to be a bittersweet and poignant story of two sister's point of view growing up. My heart broke for Shannon after learning what caused her eating disorder and it was interesting to see how Natalie interpreted Shannon's downfall.
I think this book was a great way for the sisters to reconcile with each other over events from their childhood.
Not a keeper (I swapped mine), but definitely a must read for those with siblings.

What a fun read! If you have a sister, you'll enjoy this very much, and probably see a glimpse or two of your own relationships in it. Recommend!
