Bills would not have been piling up within 5 days, and if they were as freshly separated as the book claims, then it is unlikely their finances would have been separated. In real life circumstances this would likely have made him look like a suspect in her disappearance/death. Yes, I know he said it was because of money, but the fact that he was looking into this a mere five days after his wife's disappearance was unrealistic. I didn't understand why Violet's father was in such a rush to have her mother declared legally dead. It did seem a bit rushed though, and in my opinion, had a few plot holes. The premise was interesting, the characterizations well done, and the story was well written. Thank you, Entangled Publishing, for sending this along. Overall, this is a quick read with a good message for its readers. As others have mentioned, the cover really has nothing to do with the overall arching theme of the story, but that is because of the publisher and not the author. Day 2! Like, we’re supposed to think during day 1, they grieved, accepted, and were ready enough to move onto the planning stages of saying goodbye. But what was so utterly bizarre to me is that Violet’s father and her sister Savannah were planning a memorial on day 2 of her mother’s disappearance. I enjoyed the representation in this, the overarching storyline, and the inclusion and accuracy of mental health issues. It’s hard to review this without spoiling anything, so I want to be careful with my words.
While waiting, Violet is in the process of finding herself and her place in her family amidst her mom’s disappearance. This is a story about a young woman holding out hope against the odds for word from her mother. Overall, this is a worthy debut title and I look forward to seeing what Urgo comes out with next. Then on the next page it says her dad knocks on her bedroom door. For instance, there was one part where Violet says she's sitting outside with Onion reading internet comments. Also, and I understand this is an advanced copy so hopefully this is fixed for the final release, there were some clear placement(?) issues. Like, I understand why some of those things had to have happened to make the story work, but it just got to be a bit much at times. I did think there was A LOT thrown in here though, (ie Savannah having had cancer, Violet cutting herself, Savannah and Alex getting together, etc). The Dad was really was great, as was the best friend Alex. I loved the relationship between sisters Violet and Savannah - at each other's throats one minute and then locking hands and laying in bed together the next. I enjoyed reading this and was thoroughly engrossed, reading for hours at a time.
