I really liked this book, but didn't "enjoy" it. It was very hard to read with our family history, but insightful and terribly sad.

A sad premise, the loss of a daughter and how it affects the family dynamics, each member. I found it hard to get in to. I never felt connected to the characters and it didn’t make me cry. The author never let me inside, I felt I was just perusing in the edges.

Haven't had a book move me to tears so many times in ages. So emotional and touching. Could not put it down. It really got to me. An amazing read.
