this book was hard to read, I find that you need to be in a similar state of mind to the characters to read this book, since I was not I found it very hard to pick up the book and read it. 

it's not because it's not good but maybe because I am a sister as well, I found this book too realistic for my taste, too close to home. 

all of the characters were very well thought out and it was clear that they weren't just carbon copies of one another and that they all had their own personalities, which I highly enjoyed even if I didn't exactly like some of the characters (Avery & Lucky). 

overall I would recommend this book but I don't think I would re-read this one, but I would never say never!
