br3nda 's review for:

The Good Daughters by Joyce Maynard
2.0


This is sad story with lots of complicated layers but once I figured out the direction it was heading it became difficult for me to read. I pushed through the story to get to the ending.
Unfortunately, I found it unbelievable! And some of the plot was a bit uncomfortable to read. Secrets kept by mothers and fathers making relationships between siblings difficult and inappropriate. It just didn't feel real to me.
The author writes well but the plot just did not do it for me. I hope to read more from this author in the future though.

Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow & Custom House for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
