This book is fine, it feels a little like the kind of story that would have been a Lifetime or Disney channel movie back in the 90s with some really bad special effects. For me reading it today, I just never really cared what was happening. I didn't really like either of the sisters, although I preferred Zadie to Finn. None of the people or places they visited along their journey to find their mom made an impact on me, I was usually just waiting for the sisters to move on or frustrated with their decision making. The audiobook narrator was okay. Just a very meh book. I will give it credit for not being about a romance, it's refreshing to read stories about other kinds of relationships, but it loses a point for
throwing Joel in as a potential love interest.
