Electra's story: Preachy, sanctimonious, shallow. Unrealistic, unresearched depiction of addiction and recovery. 
Cecily's story: transformative, admirable, strong.
I struggled to finish this. I truly hope book - #7 The Missing Sister, will be worth reading some otherwise rather mediocre storytelling.

Love, love, love! Ik was van tevoren erg benieuwd naar het verhaal van Electra en deze stelde niet teleur. Erg mooi verhaal, dat me erg aangreep. Ook het verhaal van Cecily en Stella was erg mooi.
