"I like all her books! This one weaves a story between 1976 and 2004. Perhaps not as dynamic as her previous works, but I still loved it! "

— Publishers Weekly -
“The always captivating Willett accurately traces the tangled threads of family relations and the complications in untying them, understanding that sometimes it’s wiser to tie them tighter.”

" a so so story but i hated the format, the story went back and forth betwen 1976 and 2004 which I like when books do that but everytime it went to one of the years, the narrative was only for 2-3 pages so it was short and then back to the other year. Got kind of old. "
