*** BREAKING NEWS: I am delighted to announce that "O, The Oprah Magazine" named WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SISTER one of "Ten Titles To Pick Up Now" (September, 2012). *** The single best career decision I ever made was chosing to leave something safe to try something risky. I look back now and smile at how blissfully unaware I was of all that is involved with getting something published but I am grateful I didn't have that as my goal. All I wanted was to see if I could write a book I had in mind. My wish for everyone would be to experience the joy of completing something they feel so passionate about. Being a writer is the hardest job I have ever had but it is also the best, most gratifying job I could hope for.

Pulls you in and holds you there. You know something's off from the get go, you just keeping holding your breath until you find out what it is. Set in North Carolina.
Took a while to get going for me, but I ended up really enjoying this. I hope there is a follow up. Make sure you read [b:Me & Emma|80534|Me & Emma|Elizabeth Flock|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388360733s/80534.jpg|600345] first!
The end was a little predictable with respect to Richard and I have to say, I'm disappointed about Emma, but it makes so much sense in retrospect and makes me all the more sad for Carrie. A very heavy read but a very engaging novel. I couldn't put it down.
Though the writing was good, this book was much too depressing for me. Definitely not a feel good book, but an eye opening look at the grittiness of one family and one teenager that left me heartbroken for the characters. Seriously I have to keep telling myself that these were not real people!!
