Excellent!

Best book I've listened to in ages! I was completely enthralled from the first chapter. The whole story is one big who dunnit with plenty of laughs but with some poignant, real moments too. Each character is well developed and not without flaws and with each chapter you can see their perspective and understand their side of things. It's a story of humour, sisterhood and intrigue. It's so refreshing to read a book that I really wasn't sure of the outcome, kept me guessing until the end.

I really enjoyed the narrator too, the story was made even wittier with her glaswegian lilt. I will certainly be reading more from Shari Low!

I found it trick to keep listening.

I listened for 2 hours but found it all very confusing. Too many different parts of the story with different characters and the narrator was hard to follow too.

Ok

Sometimes a little hard to follow, jumping from one month to another year etc. Story took a time to get going and didn’t keep me all that engaged.

Enjoyable

I did really enjoy this book. I didn't however like the bad language. Which is why it only got 4 stars.

Excellent book.

Loved all the characters. You really got involved with them and you could relate to them and how their feelings worked with themselves and each other. Good story line all the way through. Will be looking for another book by this author most definitely.

Lousy title, great book!

When I looked at this book I found the title and the back cover blurb dull and uninspiring. I read some reviews which intrigued me so I gave it a go.

Boy am I glad I did. This story picked me up from the first chapter and ran with me through the pages, I couldn't stop listening to it. The narration brought to life the location and the people. Quite simply, I loved this book from cover to cover.

Lovely story

I really enjoyed this listen, although it's not my usual type. The only problem was that it was tricky in places to remember who was who with so many main characters, so I found myself repeating much of it towards the end.

light predictable read

Easy read of a pretty predictable story of 4 sisters. Characters were stereotypical format, high powered job, caring nurse, over achiever mum, reserved and introverted teacher. ok for a beach holiday read.

Review

At first this book fried my head. It’s starts by listing everyone who is in the story and how they are related. My first thought was ‘oh Christ I’m never going to remember this so I hope they circle back around to it’! Safe to say they did thank god.

The story focuses on the lives of 4 sisters. Each very different in their own way. We have one workaholic party animal, one who works as a nurse but her caring side continues much further than the hospital, one who absolutely has to control everything down to a millisecond and the 4th sister is practically a stranger in her own family. She doesn’t share anything about her life and is so shut off that she doesn’t realise how much that has affected her life.

This story seems that one man can affect this family so much when he gets involved with one of the sisters and whilst this is true the revelation is that all of their behavioural habits stem back to another man in their lives than none of them dare mention.

Once one man is ejected from their lives and they acknowledge the effect that the departure of the other has had on them that they actually start heal, reconcile and realise what each of them has needed all along.
