I just finished part two in about an hour; I'm emotionally wrung out. If you thought part one was sad, too close to actual life events that so many of us have experienced: have a glass of wine before part two.The author definitely showed character growth, but more importantly how flawed families can be and still love each other. She didn't sugar coat any details, and I cried (yes, again), which lets you know how good this story really was. I still feel like this could've been one book, and there are a few points I felt could use clarification. But I'm a writer, and a serious reader, so perhaps my discerning eye is just nitpicking.Great series, especially for a book club discussion, or even a teen group to read. This book is filled with life lessons.
