... are often left to their own devices and they have the usual sister relationship of fighting at times but being there for each other when they need it. The book is filled with humour but also with sadness. One of the saddest parts of the books is the death of Alexandra's little sister Olivia and the resulting guilt and grief. It is certainly a turning point in the book as it's an event that really stays in Alexandra's mind emphasised by the fact she talks about life before Olivia and life after Olivia. Even now ye...more
