Review: The Weird Sisters
The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Probably more like a 3.5 than a 3...
A sweet first novel about relationships between sisters. Tries some flash storytelling, like an unusual PoV to tell the story of three sisters named for Shakespearean heroines. More good here than bad here, and I was truly impressed about how a first person plural PoV could break apart so readily into three distinct voices for each of the sisters.
The author resisted pat solutions and endings for the characters, though it was a pleasant surprise that everyone got at least some sort of happy ending. After the last bit of "lit fic" I read, that was a nice, unexpected development.
