Skylight Confessions is a tragic story and as a result is somewhat of a downer, however the characters have qualities that make the reader want to see them succeed and have a happy life if that is possible. There were times in the book that the characters and their story were just getting interesting only to have the author skip ahead in time and leave out details of what happened in their lives. Our book group had a good discussion about this book, but didn't rate it as one of our favorites.
