I didn't go into this book with high expectations. It felt kind of predictable... a Mom that passes away and leaves behind posthumous letters for her daughters that help them in their lives. Their lives seem to fall apart after she leaves, but somehow love prevails, which always resonates with me.(Can't help it!) However, what I really liked was the idea of writing letters to your kids so that they would know more about you as their mother. I'm hoping to do that with my own children someday.

Even though the writing itself is kind of difficult to follow at first because you follow the story through so many different perspectives, I found that part enjoyable once I got a hang of who each character was. I felt like it made me care a lot more about each one of them instead of just focusing on one character throughout the whole story.

Overall, the different things that happen to each of the daughters was somewhat predictable, but in the end I still felt satisfied - feeling like I shared some important events in their lives with them. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this book. I am looking forward to checking out her other books.
