PositiveEntropySometimes you’re too close to something to see it for what it really is, which is what Lombardo spells out in her expansive narrative ... Lombardo’s debut novel portrays a family in all of its interconnectedness, messiness, mistakes, regrets, happiness, and love ... It is rather difficult to move between decades, characters, and storylines for 400 pages and keep your reader engaged, however, not with the Sorensons. By the end of the novel, you will wonder what comes next for the sisters and their loved ones. You’ll feel a part of the family in a way you can’t even feel in your own, not as easily at least.
