Fue muuuuy entretenido ... lo cual no quita que haya sido un melodrama tras otro , con una villana digna de un novelon y un marido idiota que aporta poco y nada (aun asi , tiene sus momentos dignos el pobre).

Repito , muuuuuuuy entretenido desde el comienzo y con sus momentos de lagrimones e injusticias para sufrir codo a codo los protagonistas . ( )

This is a story about blende families and their stuggles. It is also a lesson on keeping secrets from the ones we love. Michael and Casey his fiance are trying to build a life with michaels 3 children. ( )

In 'Things We Didn't Say', we meet Casey and her fiance Michael... plus Micheal's three children. The instant family forces Casey to deal with her own secrets. I really enjoyed Micheal, and the way he handled his children (all of which were very well written). My problem came with Casey. I had a really difficult time connecting with her... she came off sounding a little juvenile. That's not to say I didn't like the book- the story was engaging and the support characters were interesting to read... Simply saying that I wish I had spent less time being irritated at Casey and more time enjoying the rest of the book.

This is the story of a contemporary family in all of its pain and insecurities.

It is the father who tries to be the responsible, stable parent. He is there for his children, no matter the chaos that surrounds them. And there is plenty of chaos: divorce, alcoholism, mental illness to name only a few.

The ex-wife and mother of the children, two teens and an adolescent, is a selfish, self-absorbed woman. She is unwilling to accept responsibility or blame of any sort.

Casey, the girlfriend, is insecure which makes her irresponsible in her own right. Though she has love to offer and good intentions, she is weak.

The children are struggling with the issues that come with youth: school, friends, family, but also they are forced to deal with the issues of the adults in their lives.

As the title alludes, sometimes it is the things we don’t say that affect us the most. Communication is everything. The things that people say often stay with us, but so do the things that never get said ( )

I thought the characters were realistic and developed well. The drama that was their lives is found in many families and was portrayed as true to life as possible. Addiction affects each person in the addict's life and this story portrayed many of the results extremely well. ( )
