this is my first rebecca kauffman book but it won't be my last. it took a while to get into the groove of who was who. there are a lot of people between the two families. once i was in, i found it hard to put the book down. i wanted to know what was going to happen to each and every character. but what really blindsided me was the ending. i knew i was close to the end but got so caught up in ellen and gary's reconnection and then, bam, the final six sentences in the book took my breath away.
