I See You Everywhere

I really enjoyed this reading this book but I still cannot decide if I actually liked it or not! And i'm writing this a week after I finished it! The book is about two sisters who have trouble all their lives connecting with each other and enjoying being near each other. The older sister, Louisa, is the more reserved one who has the real jobs and is never very good with men and always feels slightly shorted by her younger sister Clem. Clem is the "slut" who has numerous jobs saving animals and working in many desolated areas but always manages to have some guy on the side and enjoys her free life. Even with all of their disconnect they are who each other calls when something rough happens and they flex between loving being each other and then hating and not speaking for long periods of time! Though they are the main characters there are a number of supporting characters as well such as a very awesome great aunt and a mother who loves Clem more. Overall the story has not timeline or major point, it just floats around between the two sister's points of view and though you are intrigued and want to continue reading there is no ending point or anything.
Then almost as if the author just didn't know how to end the story she throws in this insane twist! Completely unexpected and I'm not so sure I actually believe this would happen but it also suggests that all of teh circling and disconnect that Glass threads throughout the book is actually a motivating factor for the final ending and that perhaps there are wrongs that can't be righted no matter how much is tried.
Overall I would suggest reading this book if you want a good thought provoking read. I certainly did enjoy it as I read it. Minus the ending!
