The concept of this book intrigued me so I was very eager to buy it and dive right in. After I started though it couldn't keep my focus. I frequently lost interest and put it down for days. The book dragged on and on. In typical Curtis Sittenfeld fashion, I did not like the ending but it was ...

I felt like I needed to take a shower after finishing this book. The fact that Kate herself waited almost 12 hours to take her own shower after her “earthquake” is beside the point. I liked this book until about the last 1/3. I was very interested in what the earthquake would be about. Would J...

Oh authors. I am so tired of this plot twist you keep using when you need a big earth shattering moment. I was really enjoying this book up until the last couple of chapters. The book centers around a pair of twins who have "senses" and how they deal with it in very different ways. After reading...

Twins often have a psychic connection with each other, but in the case Violet and Kate they have “senses” which reach past being able to feel what the other is feeling. Kate has “given up” her senses in the hope of having a life with her husband and children that does not involve the drama of being...

I always admire this author for writing complex, flawed characters. Both twins were so unlikeable, but in completely different ways, and their unlike-ability didn't keep me from enjoying the story. The ending was odd though. Not bad, not stupid, just odd. I still haven't decided what to think ab...
