kricketa's review against another edition
2.0
holland & geneva are their parents' second family; their first three children died in a car accident eighteen years before. mr. & mrs. shephard are still paralyzed by grief. mr. shephard is immersed in his work, mrs. shephard expects holland to take care of geneva's episodes of panic and OCD- yet does not keep geneva in continual therapy- and accuses her children of being "ick" whenever they show emotion or love. the parents leave their children alone for long periods of time, yet become controlling when holland meets a boy. they refuse to talk about their dead children, yet leave their portraits hanging on the wall. finally, the sister comes back from the dead to help holland & geneva loosen up, learn to be brave and independent and confront their parents. who change a little bit. but not much.
the sister should have haunted the parents instead. they totally suck. as characters and as parents, they didn't make any sense, and also had no personalities. and geneva was really annoying. BOOOO.
