This book was on my wishlist for a long time and I finally received it. I was excited to start it, but quickly lost interest in it. The story is about two sisters and their lives throughout the coming years. However, because the author uses virtually the same voice for both sisters (they are supposed to be very different) - there were certain chapters where I wasn't even sure which sister was speaking. At some points, she doesn't actually name the sister until near the end of the chapter, making it difficult to follow. In addition, the author skips ahead by three year increments. She doesn't bring much of the past history with that particular sister (i.e. personal relationships for example). I found myself reading each chapter and trying to get familiar with what was going on with each sister again and not knowing who some of the characters in that actual chapter even were or how they related. Three quarters of the way through the book I finally put it down. I skipped through the chapters to see what happens and have a decent idea, but won't finish it. I looked for other member reviews, but nothing came up. I'm not sure why this book is so hot on the list right now and why so many people are wishing it!
