My Rating for The Lemon Sisters: 3.5 Stars
Find The Lemon Sisters at Amazon
Brooke Lemon was always been as free spirited as her
sister, Mindy, was the responsible and perfect one. But when Mindy knocks on
Brooke’s door, what Brooke sees isn’t the perfect and put together sister she
has always known but a woman in the throes of a breakdown with three kids in toe.
When Brooke agrees to trade places for a few days with Mindy so she can pick up
the pieces and figure out how to get back to the person she once was, Brooke
finds herself with three kids and on her way to Wildstone, the small town she
called home once. But once there, she finds that the man she once loved and if
she is honest with herself, still loves, is still there, handsome as ever. But
as the Lemon sisters figure out the way back to themselves can they find the
peace they are searching for even as the love they long for is right there in
front of them?
THE LEMON SISTERS is a
great addition to Jill Shalvis’s Wildstone series. I loved Brooke and Mindy
Lemon and Mindy’s kids are a hoot. What really intrigued me was both Mindy and
Brooke finding out that they need changes int heir lives but had no idea on how
to even start the process of looking for those said changes. Brooke is dealing
with an on the job accident and Mindy is, so self-contained it’s a wonder she
hasn’t combusted before now. I love all the characters in this series and each
book is one where you can read as a stand alone and don’t necessarily have to
read past books to understand some things. But I highly recommend the first
books as well since they are just as fun and compelling as THE LEMON
SISTERS.
Meet Brooke and Mindy Lemon. Sisters who are broken even
as they pretend nothing is wrong. Mindy can’t take it anymore and shows up on
Brooke’s doorstep with her three kids in toe to beg for some relief for a few
days. Brooke is trying to deal with her issues but keeps pretending all is
well. When she agrees to help Mindy, what Brooke finds is more than the peace
she craves but something that will show her the way back to herself again. I
love Mindy and Brooke. They are complete opposite. Brooke is the wild child,
free spirited one of the sisters and Mindy is very self-contained and
controlling to a degree. I loved how the author conveys each sisters’
personalities and within the story and keeps the reader rooting for both
sisters to find their own version of peace and love. The characters are well
written, wonderfully relatable and the scenery within THE LEMON SISTERS
makes me want to visit Wildstone one of these days if its real. Add in some
wonderful secondary characters that deliver some fun scenes and three kids that
are downright adorable, well you got all the right notes for this reader to fall
in love with the book and this series.
THE LEMON SISTERS is more
about two sisters finding their way again, as an individual and as sisters but
also about second chances, friendship, love, family and more. The author does
an amazing job in keeping the reader glued to the pages of the book as you read
the twists and turns of Brooke and Mindy’s journey as well as meet some of the
residents of Wildstone. The story flows so smoothly, I never looked up to see
what time it was nor make dinner till I read that very last page. THE LEMON
SISTERS is a sweet and wonderful story that will tug on your heartstrings
and keep you glued to the pages of the book till the very end. I can’t wait to
see where the author goes next in this little town.
