Just fine with Caroline

This was a pretty good, but the characters were entertaining in the story was really neat. A lot of different things going on there was just some inconsistencies first the dog would be at the shop then the dog would be at her house and it wouldn’t make any sense. Also, there were some inconsistencies with the timeline about when her brother died how old he was and how long he had been dead by the time her parents had her. Someone who is detailed like me, just gets annoyed by the inconsistencies.
