I appreciated the author giving us a kind of start to present view into both sets of lives so we could better understand certain decisions and actions. I thought the two person perspective via the daughters helped bring a different level of emotion to the story especially for Dana's character. Is there an author interview somewhere that explains the reason for this? Outside of the ending, the book was good. So I thought Ok the epilogue will complete it, but still no. The book wasn't even wrapped up or concluded it seemed to end mid-sentence/thought. As I was reading it I kept thinking what were people talking about this seems pretty complete and then I got to the end and epilogue and was like, HUH?!?!?!? I got it then and agree wholeheartedly. I did notice however that some of reviews said the work was unfinished or the author seemed to not know how to wrap it up etc. I try not to read too many reviews and synopsis so that I can go in with a clear head and draw my own opinions. I found myself unable to put the book down after a while and finished it in less than two days. I liked this book better than the authors other work Leaving Atlanta. This book had been on my too read list for some time now so I was glad that an online book club chose it for January.
