An interesting story of two families, split by one tragedy. I like the overall telling (with a variety of points of view) but mostly I liked the characters. They felt real and the plot fit them nicely.

There were moments that I started to enjoy this book. Then, it would take a turn and it lost me again. Maybe I’m just not literary enough to enjoy these characters or how they treat each other, but this book was most decidedly not for me.
