The story of the Riva family is incredible yet painful in all of its complexities.

The way TJR writes about love, fame, family, responsibility & self-worth in this book is engaging and thought provoking. I love the way that she makes these characters feel real and the descriptions of what everyone was doing at the part it made those scenes extremely rich.

My heart still hurts thinking about this book.
