"I thought the way the story was told out of order was interesting. Sophie never grew on me. Liked Annabell and Clarke and Owen. I found the discussions about music to be highly amusing.
SPOILERS: I applaud the author for tackling difficult issues head on. I appreciate that one of the characters spoke out and another kept it inside. I think it is a very hard thing to talk about especially for someone who has first hand experience. Making it present in books and having characters speak out will encourage people in real life to do the same. I just wish there were details about the conversations had within the family about both main issues. Because the questions of "how would I start?" "what would I say?" It would be nice to have examples in print."
