All I can say is this, this book made me cry, laugh, and share the characters pain, sadness and heartbreak. I also loved the message to never let go but hold on even when when you feel completely shattered and remember that you may not return to the person you once were but you can heal and thrive

It took me a bit to get into this book, the characters have since big things happen before we're really attached to them 

That being said, once it kicked up it picked up and I found myself speeding to the end, as with Ross' other work.

Beautiful tale of the fierce bond between sisters. Rebecca Ross could write a takeout menu and it would be compelling.
