This was a pretty long family drama about a young girl who moves back in with her grandmother after her mother goes back to her hometown. The town wheThis was a pretty long family drama about a young girl who moves back in with her grandmother after her mother goes back to her hometown. The town where our main character settles is a very quiet and sleepy town. The book is more of a character study and doesn¡¯t have a huge amount of plot points. In fact the first chapter forshadows the entire plot. I did enjoy this book but felt it was a bit long and dragging at times....more

But then something happens to tear the two girls apart that leads Annie into an alternative life. This book had shifting perspectives, and while I liked the overall plot, I found some of the auxiliary characters to be a little confusing and not as interesting as the two mains. This was a pretty fast read....more

The book focuses on a woman who just lost her job and is dealing with her daughter getting married along with her ex-husband staying for the night just like the titles suggest the book takes place over three days. It is a very short book and not a ton happens, but Anne¡¯s expert character development shines through once again...more
