I didn't know what to expect from this book, but with the first chapter I felt like Maggie was my friend. Various aspects of a tragedy are addressed and it all came together beautifully. There was only one storyline towards the end that I thought likely would not have happened (no spoilers.....why did the whole family travel to that event?), but overall the book was well researched and I enjoyed reading it.
I think so many families in Maggie's situation would have done the same thing and I can only imagine how much a traumatic injury affects life for all involved. I also liked Ian's character and how he grew and changed with her through her PT. Kit sounds like an amazing sister and I liked seeing the growth in that relationship as well. Overall a great book that I highly recommend. While it deals with a tragic topic, the book isn't a depressing book and I enjoyed the bits of humor too.
