This book made me think of The Virgin Suicides- there is a group of boys who watch 4 sisters and want to do whatever they can to protect them and be near them. Besides the sisters, I felt like some of the characters fell flat. Even the abusive father was...boring? It's weird to say that, but I just didn't get anything from him. Also, the three sisters are reeling over the death of their oldest sister (you find this out in the beginning of the book), but I couldn't find myself caring because we never really learn much about Ana. I really wanted to like this story, but it just wasn't for me. I'm glad it was a little shorter.
