This is (it appears) a self-published book by a beginning writer.  I got it as a free Kindle download.  With those things in mind, I was prepared to be quite forgiving of any lack of polish to the writing that would come with more experience and access to a professional editor.  For example, I soon noted the stylistic shortcomings another reviewer commeted on, but wasn't bothered by them.  However, some plot elements quickly took the story from implausible to virtually impossible:  It suddenly occurs to the siblings - both adults - that they never heard if they had grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.  Really?  They never noticed this?  Then the find the note from their father telling them that their birth mother was a woman he had an affair with and stayed with through the pregnancy, but that he never knew her last name.  Get real.  At this point I quit reading and deleted the story.
