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.
