Book Reviews of Names My Sisters Call Me
Book Review: Splendid chicklit whether or not you have sisters
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up with two sisters, I felt a connection to this wonderful novel. Names My Sisters Call Me is about three sisters, about family, and about unconditional love.
Courtney, the youngest sister, was recently engaged to her long-time boyfriend Lucas. She plays the cello and is very insecure. Nora, the oldest sister, is very bossy and control-oriented. Since the girls' father passed away when they were young, she helped "raise them" as she puts it, since their mother was buried beneath her grief for years. Raine, the middle sister. is very artsy and free-spirited, and she is always looking for a fight with Nora, or so it seems.
Then there is Matt. Matt is Raine's best friend since kindergarten, and they are inseperable. Courtney has had a crush on Matt all through her teenage years, and eventually she and Matt hook up. Until Nora gets married. Raine ruins the reception, and shortly after, Raine and Matt leave for California. No one hears from them for six years. Raines name is avoided at all "family dinners" to keep peace in the family, and it's taken Courtney years to recover from her broken heart.
Then, Courtney decides she doesn't want to get married to Lucas without both of her sisters. So, she and Lucas fly to California, much to Nora's disapproval, to look up her long-lost sister. She didn't expect to find Matt still living with Raine, or the feelings she thought long buried to surface.
Soon after, they fly home, and not far behind is Raine and Matt. They decided to come visit for a month to attend Courtney and Lucas's engagement party. But throwing the three sisters in close proximity has its drawbacks and fireworks!
The characters are so full of depth and emotion, you will cry and laugh with them. As much as there is a lot of sisterly rivalry, there's also a lot of sisterly love and motherly love. Unconditional love. The storyline is solid and kept me turning the pages, craving more of the dysfunctional Cassel family.
I will be lending this one to my sisters, and they better give it back! Best chicklit book I've read in a long time and one I'm sure you will enjoy!
Armchair Interviews agrees.
Summary of Names My Sisters Call Me
Courtney, Norah, and Raine Cassel are as different as three sisters can be. Norah, the oldest, is a type A obsessive who hasn't forgiven Raine, the middle sister, for ruining her wedding day six years ago. Raine is Norah's opposite, a wild child/performance artist/follow-your-bliss hippie chick who ran off toWhen her longtime boyfriend proposes, Courtney decides it's finally time to call a truce and bring the three sisters together. After all, they're grown-ups now, right? But it turns out that family ghosts aren't easily defeated--and neither are first loves. Soon Courtney finds herself reexamining every choice she has made in the past six years--including the man she's about to marry--and the value of reconnecting with the sisters she knows she needs, in spite of everything.
