This book narrates de story of Rosemary and, as she clearly states, it starts in the middle of the narration. Rosemary is in college and trying to subdue her issues with alcohol and drugs. She suddenly meets Harlow, a completely unexpected girl who becomes a sort of friend.Soon, we discover events from Rosemary's past. For example, that she hasn't seen her brother in years, that once she went to her grandparents' house and when she returned, her sister Fern has been gone.
Rosemary has a lot of issues regarding her identity, her beliefs about who she really is, about her relationship with her parents and siblings.
Suddenly, there is a major twist in the story. Suddenly, we understand why Rosemary questions every decision she has made in the past, her guilty towards the dissapearance of her sister, her muteness against her past version of a very talkative girl : her grandma used to ask her to be silent for a second so she can hear herself thinking.
This is a story of growing up, of how silences engulfe people's certainties, shaping the mind of a young girl, how guilty becomes a weight to hard to sustain.
In a funny tone and seemly relaxed way, the author narrates this story that portrays more than you can see in the surface. The plot is presented in different chunks, moving from the past to the present, the consequences meeting the reasons, the fragility of life totally exposed.
