  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Abigail Reed and her younger sister, Becky, are always at each other's throats. Their mother calls them the September Sisters, because their birthdays are only a day apart, and pretends that they're best friends. But really, they delight in making each other miserable. Then Becky disappears in the middle of the night, and a torn gold chain with a sapphire heart charm is the only clue to the mystery of her kidnapping. Abby struggles to cope with her own feelings of guilt and loss as she tries to keep her family together. When her world is at its bleakest, Abby meets a new neighbor, Tommy, who is dealing with his own loss, and the two of them discover that love can bloom, even when it's surrounded by thorns. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; This exquisitely written first novel illustrates life as it truly is&#8212;filled with fear and danger, hope and love, comfort and uncertainty. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The good first: The book is well written. Very good for a first novel. And I was interested in the psychological aspect of the book coming from the growing up view of the 12-14 year old narrating sister. I also couldn't help feeling drawn into the family's life and wondering what was going to happen...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71197845">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[this book was really sad. it kinda has a predictable ending, but you don't really know what is going to happen at the end until you get to the middle of it. the thing about this book that made it enjoyable for me even though it was super sad, was that the stuff that happens in this book could actual...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54417718">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book has some lovely moments and writing, but the pacing is odd and it's not quite a young adult novel because the main character is so young for most of the book. I'll never be able to get any of my fourteen year olds to want to read this. And my younger readers are actually reading up too.

I don't have any siblings, me being an only child, so I just imagined how it will be if I had a younger sister and how my life would of been turned upside down.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was not really what I expected - not that much happens and it's spread over the span of two years, so it's a lot of time slipping slowly by. It's a nice book, but not a gripping one. <br/><br/>The last page totally made me want to cry, and I really did empathize with Abby.
