This was a very emotional book that kept me guessing.  There were lots of twists and turns throughout and often I wasn’t sure who could be trusted.  While I wanted what was best for the main character and her family, I often did not know what that was.  There were times that I felt bad got her but other times that I was upset with her.  The whole book was from her point of view, and often I quested if her point of view was what was really happening. Overall an interesting read that I enjoyed.
