Book Reviews of Between Sisters: A Novel
Book Review: A three kleenex read
Summary: 3 Stars
30 something Meghann Dontness is a divorce lawyer in Seattle and doing quite well for herself. Clare Cavenaugh, Meghann's younger half-sister, is a single mom to a five-year old daughter in a small town in the Pacific Northwest who helps her father run a small resort.
The girls, coming from a disrupted childhood of a mother who chose Hollywood to raising her children. Meghann who pretty much single-handedly raised Clare still keeps an eye on her from afar but finds some of Clare's choices to be annoying (like falling for the country singer and planning to marry him), but the differences between the girls are all pushed aside when Clare is diagnosed with a brain tumor and Meghan may have the connections needed to make amends in more ways than one...
This was a smooth read of two sisters who lives had become far from each others. Hardened Meghann had grown up too fast and drover herself too hard to be the best she could be. Opposite to this is Clare who lives life in the slow lane enjoying each moment. It takes a tragedy to bring these two together to work out things of the past.
It's no secret that I enjoy books on friendships and this book is no exception. Written in a way that seems consistent with what little I have read of Kristen Hannah, I found the characters to bewell-developed with life breathed into them.
My only complaint is that the plot occasionally felt a bit stretched, a little too much of several things coming into play that made it feel unreal and took away from the read for me, but was not a deal breaker.
A good breezy summer read. In the end I closed the final page feeling satisfied and will admit that this was a three kleenex book for me - so do not say you were not warned. :)
