Thank you for writing such a good book. I listened to it in my bus rides to school and I had a very pleasant time. I guess that the best thing about your book is that it makes us have fun, but at the same time, the story is deep and make us think about very important themes concerning post-modern society. Thank you Erin O'Briant! Hi!

I work nights, and my shifts are long, so presently I stock up on listening material and hope it helps me pass the time. This was quite the little study in modern family dynamics, entertaining, and relatively well balanced. I have some more specific feedback for you, if you are interested. If not, than you are still more than welcome to count me as a happy customer and call it a day. Thanks again. I must say, that was a refreshingly good listen.

I was surprised when the book ended so quickly. Wonderful audiobook and a wonderful reading. It’s very realistic view of sibling hood I think. I was surprised when the book ended so quickly.

I'm really impressed with how well Erin O'Briant tackled some difficult issues without oversimplifying them. There are no good guys or bad guys, just people doing their best to sort out their lives and relationships. The narration was really well done too. I only meant to listen to a couple of chapters at first but then I found I had to go back and download the rest of the book straight away. Thanks so much for sharing it Erin!

Abortion, gay rights, Christianity...these are difficult issues at any time, but especially now, and I feel this book deals with them in a realistic, fair way. The characters simply speak their truths--lives their truths--and try to come to terms with the truths of the others in their family. Ne'er a bigot be found. Go, Glitter Girl!

I have a sister who I love dearly and the relationship between the sisters feels real. Although they were very different, I liked (and was rooting for) both of them by the end. When I was listening to this audiobook, I actually enjoyed my commute--which is really saying something! Well done! I loved this story.

The story starts out very well and is easy to get into. The negatives, as it is nearly its conclusion, it is obvious the author has a bigoted social agenda to promote which I wish was made clear up front so I could have avoided this podiobook.

Thanks so much. I've been worried about Episode 5 because there were so few downloads--I did submit a report, but will follow up pronto. Meanwhile, please feel free to get that episode from my site or from my feedburner link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/erinobriant. Thanks again! Erin Hi Melinda! Thanks so much.

The story and the narration are great. Just an FYI, though, there seems to be an issue downloading Ch. 5. (I tried to submit a problem report via the Podiobooks form but it didn't go through for some reason). But that's just a technical issue. Everything else about this one is excellent.
