--I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this book was very interesting. It wasn't suspenseful or really a mystery, but the storyline kept my attention through the entire book. The back story of Lydia and her parents, growing up being abused both physically and mentally set the stage for the present very well. Coming back to her hometown after her mom's death to find her 1/2 sister, who suffers from morbid obesity and some mental instability had me sucked in. This was a subject I have never encountered and found extremely interesting and was happy to have it tackled here...education while entertaining! The romance of Tommy and Lydia was very sweet...but the twist in the end certainly was totally unexpected for me. Lots of story in a short amount of time! Loved it!
Caroline McLaughlin had a wonderful performance. Great voices(loved Lily's, just like I would have imagined it!) and her pace was perfect.
