Hey guys, I am finally finished with that 400 pages of sadness!
First off, I didn't like the mother Sara. She was bothering me by not being excited while she was pregnant with Anna. Third trimester and not thinking about names? What a bitch! or am I being too dramatic? I don't have kids yet, and I know what I am going to name them. Also, she made a simile about how Kate is in a burning house and she sends Anna in to save Kate since only Anna knows the way. I thought that was a bad comparison. I wouldn't send my other kid in. I would ask for the way and go in myself.
About Anna, I sympathize that she felt lost about her identity whether or not she should be a donor for Kate. If my siblings ever needed an organ, yes, I will donate. But there are different circumstances, for Anna, it was because she was made to do that. But I am not. So I thought about it. I would offer my organ and if my sibling say no and feel bad, I would do it still. If they don't care and not be thankful about it, I wouldn't do it. Sorry, but that's just etiquette hahaha.
In addition, I really liked the relationship between Campbell and Julia (a nice touch to the book). It was really cute but kind of unreal. High school one year thing and they were 15 years apart. After that, they still had feelings for each other? I guess it's the matter of closure, since they didn't have that, sparks continued. I would like to add that Julia was very unprofessional. You shouldn't express the grudge when you're working with your ex lover! How very Ally McBeal of her! The love scenes were a breath of fresh air from the depressing story though, thumbs up for that.
The book was an A for me. Last rambling thoughts: Some parts were boring --cough Jesse & Brian cough-- It took 3 chapters for things to get interesting. I thought the most thoughtful parts were when Sara was favouring Kate and Anna feeling alone. Right when Brian found Anna in the bent car, I started crying. A good climax at the ending. It's sad how Kate feelings guilty in the end, which made her wanting people to get over the death of her sister. It was heart touching when Brian hugged Jesse, he really needed that.
These are the basic opinions I have on this story. Thank you for reading: to the zero public.
