This is a hard one to review because the writing is great, the author is very talented, but the story is so depressing and I hated the main character. I just wanted to slap her! I was so put off that I almost couldn't finish the book. In the genre of depressing stories about families in chaos, I preferred We Were the Mulvaneys or The House of Sand and Fog.
