A beautiful novel about sisters and what makes a family. This book had me crying at the beginning and the end. It details a beautiful love story that defies time and boundaries. Not my usual read, but after some darker reads, this was perfect. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. ( )

This is the story of three sisters who grew apart as they got older. The oldest is a half sister and has always felt like the outsider. During the summer months, they all came to their grandmother's lakeside resort as children. Now, their grandmother has passed away and in her will, she has asked the three sisters to come back and help at the lake house. Over the years, secrets have built up between the sisters that drove them apart, but now that they are back together, they hope that they can share and become close once again.



I actually can't really write any more else about this book becuase it was terrible. IT wasn't well written, and the story lines were beyond cheesy. I barely could finish it - not even sure why I did.



Steer clear of this one. ( )

Dana, Harper and Tawny see themselves as “sometimes sisters”. They share blood but they are not friends.

Dana was born first. Her parents were in high school when she was born and her dad never claimed her. But her Granny Annie welcomed her into the family with open arms.

Harper followed ten years later and then Tawny. The girls all had the same dad but he only claimed the two later children.

They only saw each other for one month every summer at Granny Annie and “Uncle” Zed’s property. They owned a little business where people can rent cabins and fish at the lake.
But as the girls grew older, they stopped coming.

So they have continued to grown further apart throughout the years. Each girl also faced their own personal dramas and instead of confiding in each other, they let their secrets push them away from each other.

Now Granny Annie has passed away and left the business to her grand daughters. Her and Zed’s wish is that the girls (and Dana’s daughter) will finally become real family.

Well written characters, believable drama, and you cannot help but love Uncle Zed and Granny Annie.

I got to read an early copy of the e book through NetGalley. Very enjoyable story! ( )

So many families are broken apart by circumstances beyond the kids controls yet the kids feel the brunt of it. With the Sometimes Sisters the family has Granny Annie keeping them together until their lives spiral out of control and they stay away to deal with their own lives.

The Sometimes Sisters is a story of three sisters who have grown up and are now hiding out from life at Granny Annie’s. They fight, they point fingers but most importantly they protect each other and stand up for each other. Each of the sisters is working through their issues and must have the support of the other sisters to find their way out the other side of life.

Zed, Granny Annie’s forever friend, is the angel in this story. He is carrying on Granny Annie’s legacy after she passes by taking care of her granddaughters. He deals with the drama, the tears, and the love of these grown girls. Many men, especially those not related by blood, would have ran away as far as they could get from all their problems but he stood strong, supported, loved, and gave them the gentle pushes in the directions needed to heal themselves.

I loved reading about these Sometimes Sisters becoming Forever Sisters. Carolyn Brown in a must read author. I definitely recommend picking up your own copy and enjoying meeting these wonderful characters. ( )
