Helpful Score: 3

This book was way overrated. I feel the most for the characters of Anna and Jesse, and even the dad to some degree. The ending was a tragic shock and made me feel cheated. I so wanted Anna to become something other than tolerated by her family until she was needed yet again to save Kate's life. Anna is smart and funny and curious and deserved so much better than she got. The mother, Sara I felt was selfish and single minded. I am in a battle of my own with a serious medical situation, but I feel most of the time like I am living to make everyone else happy. I understood the position Kate was in and it isn't fun, or easy, or even wanted. But, as a mother, I would have probably done the same for Kate...WITHOUT neglecting Anna or Jesse. I just felt Sara played favorites and the other two got the short end of the stick. Ultimately, it seemed as though Sara, even with such a loss.....won somehow. Horrible.
