Thanks for sharing your review. :)<br /><br />Your description of this story reminds me a little of Charlaine Harris' Harper Connelly series (although <i>Forbidden</i> sounds quite a bit more tragic). In that series the protagonist and her stepbrother take over the responsibility for caring for their younger siblings when their parents become drug addicts. They support one another, care for each other, and eventually fall in love. They are a bit older than the main characters in <i>Forbidden</i> and are not related by blood (their younger siblings <i>are</i> related to both of them by blood), but they still struggle with the incest issue as they begin to explore their romantic feelings for one another. As the reader, you desperately want them to find a happily ever after together, even if they were siblings before they were lovers.<br /><br />Violet @ <a href="http://theeagerreaders.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Eager Readers</a>Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679587020101376314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816222359708972661.post-76000198798288313812010-09-09T20:01:29.866+01:002010-09-09T20:01:29.866+01:00Hi Sarah!

Such a heartbreaking but well written story :o) I've added a link to your review.<br /><br />@ Nina - It was way out of my comfort zone too but it is a very heartbreaking read so I'm sure it isn't for everyone. I'd definitely recommend having a look at some of the author's other books though, she writes amazingly real characters & I'm looking forward to trying more of her work :o)<br /><br />@ Clover - It is an amazing story, and although it is quite heavy going in places I still think it is well worth trying, especially if you've already brought a copy. I hope you like it & I'll look forward to seeing what you think of it :o)<br /><br />@ Trisha - I'm glad you liked it :o) I've added a link to your review!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491718306784046961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816222359708972661.post-47301164812244299162010-08-11T23:02:41.988+01:002010-08-11T23:02:41.988+01:00Great review!

For me, it wasn't even the incest that was the shocker (and I NEVER thought I would say that!) - it was the way the mother neglected her kids. So heartbreaking :(<br /><br />Here is the link to my review: http://www.chrissiescorner.co.uk/?p=1939Chrissiehttp://www.chrissiescorner.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816222359708972661.post-23453100142584662802010-08-07T03:56:46.609+01:002010-08-07T03:56:46.609+01:00I've read so many reviews loving this one even...I've read so many reviews loving this one even though it highlights taboo issue.
