Just finished this book and thought it was quite good. It's about four daughters, and a husband, and their stories after the mother (and wife) passes away. It's interesting and realistic and you feel you get to know the characters really well. Amanda and her free spirit, Lisa with her commitment issues, Jennifer with her relationship problems and Hannah and her typically teenager-nish.

I wouldn't say it's that emotional, it didn't make me laugh or cry in the slightest. But it made me think. How it affects you though will depend on how relevant it is to you - and there is a bit of everything in there.

Sometimes it dragged; I particularly found Barbara’s letters/diary quite dull, sometimes interesting but often pretty boring. I preferred to read about what was actually happening to the girls.

Little predictable but overall a good book.
