3.5

a quick, and pleasant read, with a lot of beautiful writing. The characters are relatable and create a story of a strained familial relationship, with plenty of moments to reflect and question the characters motives.

unfortunately, I didn't find anything exceptional and poignant to earn 5 stars. definitely a worthwhile read and is easy to recommend for disaffected young women, or sisters with a love/hate relationship.
