Helpful Score: 1
The writing was fantastic; just drew you in to the little world of Theresa and her family/friends. But, a very disturbing and not-to-be-believed subplot of the 15 year old's romantic interest in the elderly painter. In real life, a healthy 15 year old girl would be repulsed by a 70 year old man (unless she herself had been abused or molested, or some other such thing, which she was not). Just hated the last 1/4th of the book, that gross and unbelievable subplot, the death of the cat, and most of all, the ending (we never find out what was wrong with Daisy, etc.). So, 3 1/2 stars for the wonderful storytelling and writing of the author, but just wish it would have headed in a different direction.
