I did not expect for one moment that this book would be so sad until the moment it became a tragedy. It sure was gorgeous, though.

This one was crazy... Bear love, sister love, but somehow not about love, it's about survival and the tragic reality of another failed american dream. And then that tragedy/failure manifests itself in a bear. I was surprised and devastated the whole time.

I ended up liking this book quite a bit and am glad I had to read it for a book club or I think I would have DNF’d it at the 25% mark. We are in Sam , the younger sister’s head throughout the book and she is a tough hang in the beginning (really for most of the book). But as the story begins to come together as the end draws nearer, I began to understand why we are in her head (and why we aren’t comfortable there - she isn’t either). I know the ending is divisive but I liked it - it brought reality crashing back when the author could have gone full fairy tale. I think it will make for a great book club discussion!
