The Sweeney Sisters: A Novel

The Sweeney Sisters is a story of secrets, books, and sisterhood. The sisterhood aspect of the novel was probably my favorite part. Three sisters grow up as close as any sisters can get, only to be thrown a wrench in their lives when they find out that they may have more than they bargained for: another Sweeney sister! After the death of their acclaimed literary father, the sisters will be put to the ultimate test. Will they be able to trust this new sister? While I enjoyed this very much, some of the characters were less than likable, at least in my book. I thought that the father being a literary master was an interesting storyline. I also enjoyed how the sisters each handled problems. They were all so much alike, yet so different in many other ways. My favorite character was the “other” sister. She is intelligent, kind, and definitely somebody I could see myself being friends with. Overall, I think this would be a great addition for readers who take pleasure in character-centered books.
