My Review:

Well. This book is totally a triangle and in an unexpected way. Where to begin? One family with money and one with less. One daughter adopted and searched for her natural parents. Young couples in love and mix in a bit of mental illness to be dealt with, an eating disorder that has killed women and girls in real life – think Karen Carpenter, and the nuances of the time period and clothing styles. Did I mention love? Abundant love, yet despair at the same time. The author takes the reader into this story and makes the reader experience the love, hurt, pain, despair, anger, and all other feelings. Those are qualities that make a book great!
