Title: If you read this right after *The Secret Life of Bees*, you'll regret it.... but wait a while and then read and you may enjoy!
Review: At first, I didn't really care for this. It started out SO similarly to _The Secret Life of Bees_ - a daughter feeling responsible for a parent's death. And though the narrator was older, there was a lot of similarity between the two books' narrators. But, as the novel progressed, it grew to be separate from the first. It became a novel more like Jodi Picoult's - some chapters told by different characters and a revelation at the end. I will continue to watch for this author, because as a whole this novel was quite good.
