I read this book as part of the Pennsylvania Patchwork blog tour, and is the second book a series. Leaving Lancester I reviewed earlier and is the first book.

In a nutshell, this book is about decisions, how we make decisions and live with the decisions. The book takes place immediately after the first book ends, and the characters are still immature, whining, and self-loathing. The mother, Ester, is especially full of self-loathing and you really wish you were there to smack her in the face and tell her to grow up and move on already. I was really disappointed that once again, the characters do not grow at all. Once again, I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and all the bickering, fighting, drama, and arguing just made me frustrated. And the fact that Larry, a friend, just shows up at random, is so far fetched as to be completely unbelievable.

That being said, I did like the book - I just didn't love it - and I did want to find how everything was resolved, though there's still a lot of questions that are left unanswered, like with any series. I don't think I'll read any more of the series, however, as I just don't like any of the characters.

I actually somehow with 2 review copies of this book - an e-book (netgalley) and a paperback (litfuse tours) copy. Not sure how that happened ;/.
