Book Review - Sisters by Choice

 Sisters by Choice - Susan Mallery

Sophie Lane has come home to Blackberry Island after a fire destroys her business. She is determined to focus on rebuilding her life and her business on the island. Can Sophie let go of her need to control everyone around her? Can she get past all the hurt and loss in her past?

Kristine is a wife and a mother, but she has had a dream for a long time. She wants to open a bakery and have something for herself that she can work at and be proud of. Can her husband get past his need for her to just stay home and raise their family? Will she have to choose between her family and her dream?

Heather is twenty years old and has big dreams for her future. What Heather can’t get past is the guilt of not looking after her mother who refuses to look after herself and thinks the world owes her a living. Can Heather step away from the responsibility of taking care of her mother? Can she really move away and follow her dreams of going to college?

The story takes us on the journey of these three women, who each have their own struggles and dreams. The story weaves beautifully through each individual story yet, intertwines them all together at the same time.

The reason I am not giving this book five stars is that I didn’t feel the “warmth” between the characters as the title suggests. I wouldn’t call them sisters, I would call them close relatives, as they only seemed to show up once in awhile in each others lives and I didn’t see any sort of bond forming between them during the story. The book was good, the story was nice, but I just didn’t get that warm fuzzy from this one. Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to read and review.

Thank you so much for stopping by the farmhouse. Lynn
