A review by lisaeirene
The Good Daughters by Joyce Maynard
4.0
I won't give away the spoiler but it's pretty easy to guess early on in the book.
Usually I dislike books that go back and forth between characters at each chapter but this book did it well. I was equally interested in both Dana and Ruth's stories and each chapter left me wanting to read more. I liked the way the story unfolded, how the author told the story, and all the characters involved.
While I guessed what the big reveal was early on, I still had some doubts as to the HOW. I kind of felt like the reveal at the ending was anti-climactic after an entire book of hinting. Other than that, I really liked it.
