Do you think your family is the only dysfunctional one? Think again! Meet Paula, Alise, Callie, and Marlisa, the four sisters in Nina Guilbeau’s novel, Too Many Sisters. One sister is devious and a scam artist. One is very smart. One is heartbroken. And, the fourth is a home wrecker.
The story mainly focuses on Callie as she is the heartbroken one and everything seems to be spiraling out of control. Each sister wants something from her – her trust even though they are not completely honest, her business and her husband. As the story develops, secrets and lies continue to fall out of this family’s closet.
The author used such vivid language that I laughed out loud during various scenes and I could envision them as well. Too Many Sisters gave a dose of reality that not all families are perfect and we must choose wisely who we will trust. Just like reality this book was not predictable and we could experience the characters ups and downs as they dealt with various life situations.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick, comical read.
