 Overall, I liked it. Illustrates the complexity of sister-sister, mother-daughter, aunt-niece relationships. Love crosses over to possessiveness, jealousy, covetousness.

 Not fantastic, but an entertaining read despite it's predictability. The book is written from the first person point of different characters as well as third person throughout, which I found to be erratic & distracting.
