Was not overly impressed by this book. It had been in my queue for some time and I finally downloaded. Wish I had chosen a different book. I was unable to connect with the characters, I simply could not relate to Mira or her thought process. The rest of the characters and their story lines were choppy. There were slices of development that were just left without resolution. The story line regarding an ex boyfriend built up then suddenly ended- similarly the book was over with a less then exciting conclusion. You could say there was too much going on, each between each character, a raging storm, and an anniversary party none or written to their greatest potential. It could have been the authors point, trying to show the flurry of activity surrounding this weekend when the whole family is together, but in my opinion it was not successful.
