I enjoyed how each chapter was as much its own short story as it was part of the overall narrative. My main problem with the book is that I had a hard time remembering information about each of Rose's cousins, aunts, and uncles. And her seven male cousins all had nicknames, to further complicate matters. Perhaps if I had taken notes as information was provided it would have made more sense, but honestly, I had trouble keeping all the characters straight. Also, many of the characters seemed overly wholesome and jolly so much of the time, it nearly got irritating.
