    ... her prose is a bit on the dull and repetitive side.

    Another Piece of My Heart takes us on the journey of a family that was pieced together, unraveled and knitted back together. Their journey isn’t perfect but I was happy to be along for the ride!

    Green tells the reader what is happening, and while this moves the story along quicker, it also loses the immediacy of hearing and learning about the changes and emotions first-hand

    Jane Green's 13th novel is by no means perfect. Its rapidly shifting points of view can be disorienting and confusing.

    By opening up her story, Green delivers unusual suspense for a domestic novel... It’s a wonderful book.

    Though Andi and Emily are both highly self-involved, making it difficult to like either of them, Green finds honesty in their alternating voices.

    While there were quite a few cliches throughout the novel and I often find myself puzzled as to why the author decided upon a particular outcome, the message the book portrays is a valuable one.

    I was engrossed in the story of this family and found myself reading more and more to see what would unravel next - the family seemed to be in a downward spiral.

    And bouncing around to other narrative voices in these sort of awkward monologues didn’t work for me.

    Another Piece of My Heart is incredibly engaging, particularly as Green begins to show the tension between Andi and Emily from both women’s perspectives.

    In other places, Green tells the reader what is happening, and while this moves the story along quicker, it also loses the immediacy of hearing and learning about the changes and emotions first-hand, so to speak.

    The plot could easily have been a tired cliche, but it wasn’t. There were many surprises hidden along the way, the biggest being Emily’s pregnancy.

    There was a fair bit of whining from both the women but I guess I would probably do the same thing if my life were as complicated (not in a good way) as theirs.

    Overall, a wonderful book about what it takes to keep your family together and the lengths that some people will go to ensure that does or doesn't happen.

    It was sometimes painful to pick up where I had left off because I was fearing that more pieces of my heart would be shred and they were over and over again.
