A Tangle of Emotions

Beth was a normal girl living a normal life. Her world was suddenly shattered when her mother died tragically and unexpectedly. Everything in her life became more complicated. Her friends didn't know how to act around her, so she felt isolated. Her father didn't now how to behave, yet they know that they needed to stick together to pull through. Her demanding boyfriend wanted all her attention, but she knew she needed it for her father. This made her relationship with her boyfriend more isolated as well. Also, her relationship with her father became more isolated as well when he decided to get rid of his old wife's things and start dating. If that isn't enough stress in her life, her goddess-like aunt and ever watchful and critical grandmother create a less than desirable atmosphereAlthough it isn't the best book around, it still was interesting. I enjoy reading about Jewish culture and traditions. It certainly had a lot of that in it! I did think it was a bit unrealistic, because it seems at times like she is mourning for herself rather than her mother. She also doesn't mourn as much as I think I would if my mom died. Luckily, I don't know from experience!
