How To Survive Your Sisters by Ellie Campbell

The MacLeod sisters gather together after many years for a wedding. Natalie is a perfectionist, she wants the "wedding of the year". Housewife and Mother Milly, wants to lose some weight and look good in her bridesmaid's dress. Career woman Avril, is secretly involved with a married man. And Hazel, the youngest just wants to to be taken seriously.

A tragedy hits the family and things begin to come unglued. Everyone has a secret, shocking as they may be. Will sibling rivalry and deep hidden (family) secrets bring them closer, or pull them apart?

A well written story of sisters, family, sibling rivalry, secrets and unconditional love. Each sister has their strong points and their inner demons that threaten their future happiness. The sibling rivalry, jealously, loyalty and love made it "real"

The story is believable, original, detailed, with many plot twists, turns and secrets. I could not put it down. There were many "didn't-see-that-coming" moments which kept me at the edge of my seat, wanting to know more.

I highly recommend How To Survive Your Sisters to those who love a great dramatic(sisters/family) memorable story. ( )

Review:

"How To Survive Your Sisters" by Ellie Campbell was of four sisters and one was getting marriage and wanting the 'perfect wedding' in this chick-lit read.

I will say that the characters seemed to be in a world of their own being well portrayed and so colorful with each sister having their own story. This author did a good job at blending the various stories together with its suspense and even the realism of what all was going on in this story. Indeed these sisters did interact just like sisters. We find the MacLeod's sister...the oldest sister Avril was a 'Hollywood a Agent,' Milly was married and a mother of three, Natalie was the 'Bride to be' and last there was the baby sister Hazel. Some of the sisters were likable more than others. I will let you decide which ones you will like. Now, that they would be coming together due to the wedding...having to be closer than they had been in years. Will there be family squabbles and hidden secrets that could probably 'break the bonds of this sisterhood' even further than it already is for these sisters? This author did a wonderful job at keeping the story around the sisters and the wedding. To get the answers to this and more you will have to pick up this wonderful story with many twist and turns that this author has given to the reader to see how this will come out. "How To Survive Your Sisters" is written in third person making it easy to follow and will keep you so engrossed and turning the pages until the end. I also liked how this novel seemed very real throughout the read that could be real. Oh, I almost forgot be ready for some humor that will have you laughing out loud. If you are in for a good read about a family who loves each other however, do will have many 'trials and tribulations'... you have come to the right read for "How To Survive Your Sisters" would be recommended to you.
