What happens when love, marriage and children don't come in the expected order? Fifteen years after the tragic death of their older brother splintered Josie and Meredith's already fragile relationship, the two sisters are following very different paths.
Hardworking, reserved Meredith thought she'd done it all the right way round - married the perfect man, had the perfect daughter - but now she's wondering if she got the love part wrong.
Impulsive and spirited Josie has been single for years. She wants a child so much that she's preparing to head straight for the baby carriage all on her own.
As the anniversary of their tragedy looms and secrets from the past surface, Josie and Meredith must come to terms with their own choices. Perhaps they'll find that they need each other more than they know..
I recieved a copy of this book from bookbridgr. I requested it because i thought the cover was cute. I did read some reviews on this book prior to going in and it was a mixed bag. But I actually really enjoyed this story.
Told from two sisters view points, the chapters are alternating between the two girls, Meredith and Josie. They annoy each other, Meredith seems to think she's had the rough end of the deal with life and believes Josie gets away with everything. Never having to learn her lesson or deal with the consequences. We learn how the effect of their brother Daniels death had on them, how each were holding on to their own secrets about that fateful night.
My favourite character was Josie, i did love her no care attitude and her get go. SHe wasn't afraid of doing things her own way or on her own. Meredith, did annoy me, with her constant moaning and belittling of people. But thats siblings for you.
I can see why people didn't enjoy the book, but i honestly thought it was really good. Perhaps i can relate to both characters slightly and therefore could understand situations with them.
