Missing something...
The story itself is a promising premise, but it falls short. The writing is very juvenile and the grammar is atrocious. There are so many instances that sound like a robot is speaking, and there is no life or depth to the characters. June, an eight year old, has no childlike qualities and speaks like an adult, and the conversations between her and her teen sister sound wooden and uncomfortable. 80% of the book consists of Avery, the elder sister, stating that she is responsible for June and this is repeated over and over until I found myself irritated, skipping pages to get to the start of the story. Once there, I was dismayed to find about 10 pages of progression and then a very odd and abrupt end to the book, which felt obvious to make room for a next installment in a series. Needless to say I will not be purchasing anything further in the series.
