I am not sure that I have ever read a book by Susan Mallery that I did not love. Three Sisters is a wonderful, heart-warming story of female friendships that made me wish that I lived on Blackberry Island in a wonderful old victorian home. Sigh...
Three Sisters is not, in fact, named for three sisters, but instead for three old victorian homes that were built on the same street and are currently inhabited by Boston and her husband Zeke, Deanna and her husband and five daughters, and Andi. Andi is an unmarried pediatrician who happens to buy the sister in the middle--the sister in need of a full renovation. Boston and Deanna's homes have been remodeled and restored to fit the character of the family that lives in each. As you get to know each character, you understand why each house is the way it is. They all match up nicely.
If I had to pick, I'd say that Three Sisters is predominantly Andi's story, but Andi isn't able to grow and change without Boston and Deanna, so it's really a book about all three women. It's a beautifully written, fun story that left me feeling proud to be a woman with female friends that I know I can count on.
Now...if two of them would just move in on either side of my house, I'd really be set!
Happy reading, everyone!
