"It was ok I usually wouldn’t read a book like this I don’t regret it I think it was good but the ending was super sappy. As someone who doesn’t have a good relationship with their siblings I was a little jealous of how quickly they were ok with each other so I was a little salty at the end but over all was a good book. Had to read it for a class "
"This book is for girls growing up and family secrets. You will want to read this book nonstop just to see how it ends. There are some parts in the book that you will mourn and grieve with the characters but hope they triumph. I do wish more of NYC were explored in this tale, but it works all the while. #daddyissues #family #other #airplanes "
