Two sisters at odds and one fight to the death! Well, not really but close to it!

I was pleasantly surprised while reading this. At first, I thought Gigi was kind of horrid, but I came to understanding why she was acting out as the story progressed. We've friendship drama and grief at the center of the story with fencing around the sides.

The conversation Gigi (the girls) had at the end with their mother was one of the absolute best parts.
