I often was sad to see adults come to the rescue of kids that had been doing fine on their own. This book didn't give me that feeling. The three children were never okay. They didn't work together and their love for each other never showed. As an adult, I was horrified at their meals and at their father's lack of attention. I did see myself in the older girl's desire to run the show and be in charge. I also related to the younger boy's desire to be in on everything. I was sorry for the lack of cooperation between siblings. I didn't trust the ending. I would like to see how this family fares as time goes by.
Disclaimer : I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
