I really wanted to like this book. However, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I found the book to be depressing and at times hard to read. Several times I thought about not finishing the book and going on to something else. However, I was given a free copy of the book so I continued to the end.
The book centers on three sisters who are dealing with the loss of their parents. Poppy, the oldest, leaves her life in Boston and returns home as the legal guardian of her two younger sisters. Daisy, who is sixteen, doesn't have the best relationship with her sister and at times seems rebellious. Thirteen year old Violet, my favorite of the sisters, is an old soul in a young girls body. If not for her and her cat, Grimace, I probably wouldn't have finished the book. Over the course of the summer the three sisters learn to live without the traditional two parent family. A secondary storyline is that of Evie, a runaway who becomes friends with Daisy. Evie is harboring a secret that eventually brings the family together.
My thoughts: the book was depressing, at times repetitive, and at 377 pages, just too long. I think some editing could have brought the story down to around 300 pages and made the story more interesting and easy to read.
I was given a free copy from All You magazine. I have provided my honest opinions of this book.
