A story of sisters, mother/daughter and friends who must learn to lean on each other for help through both the good and the difficult times. Jamie is the younger sister who has never been able to live up to the perfection that she thinks her sister is. Kate is the older sister that became an adult at a very young age and has a hard time letting go of the caregiver role.

I love books where the characters are the complete central and the setting takes a little bit of a backburner and the story is the heart of it all. These two sisters have had many things to overcome as a family and individually and thankfully this is the story where it starts pretty low and there is hope for a light at the end. There were a few moments where I wanted to knock some sense into the girls to have them see the situation through a different set of eyes, but maybe that is a lesson to be learned, not to think before you try to see it a different way.
