I liked this book quite a bit. Who doesn't love southern women and their fiery attitudes?! :) Some people have complained that no one wants to know about their parents' love lives, and that may be true, but I think it's perfectly justifiable in this story, as the main character has no idea what caused her father to be distant for most of her life. I would want to know why, if it happened to me, even if it did involve hearing about my parents former love lives...especially if my parents weren't alive to tell me themselves. I thought it was a great story about parents and children's relationships and parents and children's misguided attempts to protect each other from the truth when, in the end, the truth will set you free.

Wow, I really hated this book. It goes back and forth, back and forth, the entire book, between the 2 sisters. I had a hard time keeping track of which sister was "telling" the story, because you have to really make sure to check at the start of each chapter since it changes so frequently. I didn't like the ending, other than the fact that it was finally over. ;)
