A book of incomparable unfairness. I am not saying every story needs to be wrapped up in clean white bows, I am saying that my 13 year old self was not prepared for the grossly overstated cruelty of life presented in this book. I hate it.I didn't write a full review, but this is someone else's which is excellent & sums up my thoughts:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...I read this book a long time ago, so I can't remember all the deets ... but! I do remember I thought it was sort of ... weird? And pointless. And dumb. Honestly, why do people like this book??Here's some more stuff I remember:-Creepy hand fascination.Further: creepy young girl fascinated with the hands of a creepy old guy who could be her grandfather. So
I absolutely hated this book. It doesn't even give you the satisfaction of seeing Miss Perfect Goldilocks get hers in the end (or at least, seeing her admit what a hell she made for her sister).I really don't understand why this received the Newberry.

The most depressing story I've ever read in my life.

It's a great book.This book beautifully expresses, consider your abilities and talent and not comparing yourself to others.Because there are chances
I really appreciate this review! Thank you!

Her earnest desire for God's love amidst fear of His disapproval also reflected my search to feel God's love for me in all my messy imperfection.20+ years have
I loved reading this book with my daughter and seeing it both through her eyes and mine, from the parent and the child's point of view. I felt the injustice of Caroline's special treatment and how it affected Sara Louise, the pain of being the unloved child, the adaptable one that's easy to ignore. I could so relate to my own life, slipping through the cracks when I wouldn't speak up for myself. At times I wanted to shake Caroline for being so selfish and taking so much away from her sister.But
