Review of The Lemon Sisters

Book Summary Courtesy of  William Morrow Paperbacks

The New York Times bestselling author of Rainy Day Friends and Lost and Found Sisters returns to Wildstone, California...

Brooke Lemon has always led the life she wanted, wild adventures—and mistakes—included, something her perfect sister, Mindy, never understood. So when Mindy shows up on Brooke’s doorstep in the throes of a break-down with her three little kids in tow, Brooke’s shocked.

Wanting to make amends, Brooke agrees to trade places, taking the kids back to Wildstone for a few days so Mindy can pick up the pieces and put herself back together. What Brooke doesn’t admit is she’s just as broken . . . Also how does one go home after seven years away? It doesn’t take long for Brooke to come face-to-face with her past, in the form of one tall, dark, sexy mistake. But Garrett’s no longer interested. Only his words don’t match his actions, leaving Brooke feeling things she’d shoved deep.

Soon the sisters begin to wonder: Are they lemons in life? In love? All they know is that neither seems to be able to run far enough to outpace her demons. And when secrets surface, they’ll have to learn that sometimes the one person who can help you the most is the one you never thought to ask.

My Review

I received an ARC from the author and publisher in an exchange for an honest, unbiased review. I am avid reader and a huge fan of Jill Shalvis so when I got the opportunity to read another book in the Wildstone Series, I jumped at the chance.

With each and every book that Jill writes I truly think that her writing continues to get better and better. I honestly couldn't put the book down from the moment I started reading it. This book had a great mix of laughter, drama, sisterhood and at times sadness.

I think Jill did a great job of creating well developed main characters in both Mindy and Brooke that you really felt like you knew them. She just gave you enough of their past to know their secrets, making you hold on to the very end of the book to decide what path they were going to take.

In addition to the characters I really enjoyed the storyline of this book. I know that she has created similar books before involving sisters but I think this one was different because I felt that she hit on various big topics through out the course of the book that can affect a women from miscarriage, same-sex relationships, good co parenting, etc. This really made it stand out from other contemporary romance books that I have read.

I am very interested to see what Jill has in store for her next book as this was a fantastic one!
