2.5 stars
I have mixed feelings about this story.
Positives
- great characterization: you get both the positive and the negative aspects of each character that makes them believable. They are fallible and imperfect.
- great plot and writing style;
- nice – though predictable – ending.
Negatives
- alternating third person viewpoint, except Amanda’s. Even the babysitter has her own POV, why not Amanda?
- cheating – unnecessary. The plot would have been totally intact even without it.
- some clichés and some over-sentimentalized and overdramatized moments.
Mediocre, but could be satisfying, if you are in the mood.
