A review by beastreader
All the Best People by Sonja Yoerg

3.0

Instantly, I connected with Alison. I felt so horrible for her that a time when she really needed her mother the most, she was not there for her. Alison was growing up into a young woman and looked to her mother for guidance but found none. Her father and brothers were of no assistance. Yet, in a way, I was also drawn to Carole. The way the author flashed back to show Carole before she was now, helped to bring me the reader into her world and feel compassion. However, unlike other readers who loved this book, I thought it was an just an fine read. The beginning of the story, took a while for me to connect with the story or the characters. Then, the story moved at a slow pace for periods at a time that did not help with my focus on this story. While, I was not in love with this book, I would try another book from this author.
