I don't get all the "buzz" about this book. I found it slow moving and boring. To me, it played out like a made for TV Hallmark movie, which on a boring Sunday night I may find entertaining, but for hours worth of reading I was bored pretty much from beginning to end. The only reason I kept reading was because I heard it was such a good book, and I kept waiting for the good part. Every night I would be determined to finish the book and I'd get 20 pages in and fall asleep. I'm glad I finally got through it. I understand how there's the themes of mother/sister/womanhood, but I felt this book has been done before by other BETTER authors. I think it would make an interesting movie, but for such a hyped up book I was really disappointed.
