Working my way through
I purchased this book based on the reviews and I am sorry to say that I wish I had waited for a copy from the library instead of spending my money on it. I realize that I am in the minority here amongst the 5 star reviews but this book just isn't doing anything for me. I am up to the beginning part entitled Fall. I am already tired of the constant drama between the sisters and their negativity toward one another. So far there is not one moment of happiness or brightness in this book and I feel like I am slogging through to finish it. These four sisters are beyond dysfunctional to the point of unbelief. That aside, my biggest complaint is the language. Having read tons of books in my lifetime I consider myself pretty resilient to reading (and casting aside) the use of foul language and sex scenes but this novel takes the use of the F word way too far with it being used on practically every page and many times on a single page or two. I don't see any advantage to the continual use of such a derogatory word. If anything it is taking away from the book. I will finish reading it but I certainly won't be recommending it to anyone.
