Courtney,
Norah, and Raine Cassel are as different as three sisters can be. Norah, the
oldest, is a type A obsessive who hasn't forgiven Raine, the middle sister, for
ruining her wedding day six years ago. Raine is Norah's opposite, a wild
child/performance artist/follow-your-bliss hippie chick who ran off to
When her longtime boyfriend proposes, Courtney decides it's finally time to
call a truce and bring the three sisters together. After all, they're grown-ups
now, right? But it turns out that family ghosts aren't easily defeated--and
neither are first loves. Soon Courtney finds herself reexamining every choice
she has made in the past six years--including the man she's about to marry--and
the value of reconnecting with the sisters she knows she needs, in spite of
everything.
Review
Courtney’s
relationship with both of her sisters seemed very real and messy, which is why
I really liked the book. The people that
are the closest to us can often be the most difficult to relate to. One of Courtney’s sisters, Norah, has lived
by her throughout her life. Courtney has
idolized her other sister, Raine, from a distance.
The
author explores more than just the relationships among the sisters. Megan Crane also delves into the challenge
Courtney faces when she meets her first love again after six years without
seeing him. Even though she has a
wonderful man, her fiancé, in her life right now, she still feels drawn to her
first love. Her emotional conflict over
the two men is overwhelming for her.
Readers
are kept on edge wondering what Courtney will decide to do about her
dilemma. Even after we have it figured
out what she decides, the story compels us to keep reading. I do not personally have any sisters but this
book makes me wish I did.
