Helpful Score: 1


This is a gripping read. You will have trouble putting it down. However, it was not what I expected it to be. The story is written more like an autobiography of Janine Latus' life. The two sisters seem to struggle with unhealthy relationships with men. A dysfunctional childhood set the stage for a life long qwest for love by Janine and her sister Amy. Both find themselves victims many times at the hands of men. Although, both are willing to excuse the behaviors in favor of the "good days". The sister's remain close yet never really tell each other what's going on in their relationships. Ultimately, one sister survives and the other does not.
