This book is a really hard one for me to read and review.
This book is a perfect example of why Keris is an awesome YA author. It had that lovely storyline and wonderful characters that I could get behind and I really enjoyed their story and got a sense of the setting complete with that summer holiday fine.
But boy this this one make my heart ache. The story spends a significant amount of time looking at how the sisters in the story deal with life after the death of their father and it's really raw and hard-hitting emotionally. You real feel for them as they try to work how to function as a family with such a vital part of the family gone and there were times I found it really hard to read because it made me think of how I might feel in a similar situation.
A truly brilliant book but a really hard one to read. You'll come out of it feeling like you've been through the wringer emotionally.
