Being a mother of twins and also losing my mother at a very young age, I chose this book because I thought I'd love it and could really get into the srory.........WRONG. I didn't like the way the story jumped around SO much. Also it seemed like a bit too much jibber-jabber. But it actually was a good story and written from such a different angle; maybe if the ending would have been as "different" and extreme, it would have made me feel better about reading the book. This book took me longer to read than almost any book I've read. It's definitely not a page turner in my opinion.
