From the same author as TRAVELLING PANTS, but this book is supposed to be for adults. And it was, to a degree. Older characters, some sex, that is really the only thing that happens when YA authors change it up and write for adults. It was about two sisters and their friend, a boy. Isn't this how all the books start? The boy is friends with the tom-boy older sister who (spoiler alert!) dies. But before that happens, the boy and the younger sister get together but keep it hidden. This book was written in third person, sort of. It was like a story being told to the reader and loads of what went on on the page was in the younger sisters head. A little in the boys head as well, but never in the older sisters head. I like dialogue, which is why I am totally no on this book. Plus, I couldn't tell what the relationship was with the girls. Sometimes they acted like they were in high school but they were supposed to be in their twenties? I know I am one to talk, but they still lived in their parents house with no interest in moving out. Weird.
