Many thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Nick Alexander for the opportunity to read this wonderful family drama. 4.5 stars.
Penny and Vicky are sisters and survivors of a horrible family tragedy that happened on Christmas. Their mother, Marge, seems to encourage the drama between the sisters. Penny, a successful psychologist working with refugees, is married to Sanders, a once successful painter, and has 2 children. From the outside, she seems to have it all - except that Penny feels she's the only one working and trying to keep their family afloat. Vicky, married to Martin, a successful lawyer, has one child and a host of anxiety issues, fueled by her addiction to Valium. When childhood secrets finally come out, the sisters need to finally find a way to understand each other and move forward.
Just a good family drama story and I loved the "bottle of tears" analogy. It's amazing how different our perceptions can be from reality and cause so many family issues.
