Put this one in my DNF file. It was very slow moving and didn't retain my interest. The characters and story line were stale and predictable.

A family of 5 that didn't start on the best foundation and from the parents to the children they all had issues. The book unfolds in the present with flashbacks into the past when the parents of the family met and "fell" in love. As a reader, I definitely had to pay attention as it switched in the middle of the chapter to the past and then back to the present story.
As a product of a fantastic family and childhood, it is hard to read about characters who have it rough from the moment they are born and well into adulthood. It was easy to care for Muriel as she is the outside and you just want her to find an independence and depart from the dramas of her family. I definitely talked straight to the characters in this book, they irritated me a few times!
