I thought this book was sweet, but fell flat at times. The entire timeline felt rushed, and I had trouble empathizing with a lot of the love/romantic endeavors that the sisters had throughout their life. The love interests all felt very uni-dimensional, but honestly every one of the women did too.
That being said, I liked the aspect of following 2 siblings throughout their life, and the sister plot in general was very sweet and relatable. I loved the way Gillian and Sally were able to draw themselves back together and ultimately save each other in multiple ways.
