An enjoyable book about the relationship between two sisters in the past and in the present. I liked the writing style: alternating between the past and the present from each sister’s perspective. I liked how it dealt with mental health issues and how it affected different people. It stayed true to being a book about the life and relationship of the two sisters. Other characters were secondary, and I liked that. It wasn’t a “can’t put down book”, but still it was enjoyable.
