The Whole Thing Together by Ann Brashares
2.0
A brilliant and engaging premise. Sasha and Ray share half sisters, but have never met, due to the terrible divorce between Sasha's father and Ray's mother. They also share a bedroom at the beach house the divorced couple continues to occupy.
There are a lot of mid-chapter point of view shifts in this book that I found distracting. And I wasn't fond of how Brashares chose to wrap up the story. It seemed too convenient, as in: "I'm tired of writing this story and need to be done." Still, the idea of two kids more or less the same age occupying the same space year after year, and yet never meeting was a winner.
