Forever Rose by Hilary McKay
2.0
I was surprised to read so many positive reviews of this book, to be honest. Then, I realized that most of the people who wrote the reviews have read the other four previous books in the series.
I liked the eccentricities of the family, but I felt left out of their backgrounds. There were many times where I thought to myself, "Okay, that must be from a previous book in the series." This book can't stand alone, in my mind. With all of the missing information, I felt like many of the characters were underdeveloped. Rose was a bit boring to me, but I was interested in reading about her mom or siblings. Maybe I would have enjoyed the other books in the series.
