Review # 1 was written on 2017-08-31 00:00:00 Jennifer Mccormick Even with Barbara Rosenblatt, not my cup of tea. I feel like lots of Pride & Prejudice remakes focus on too much of a superficial reading of the texts, and this is no exception. I don't expect every scene or character to have a parallel, but I do expect characters that can be liked and few plot points that shrivel off (like - the girls' "babysitter" - what was her role exactly? She could have disappeared and made the family seem less 1%ish and less racist, frankly.) I guess if I'd picked it up and not expected a P&P parallel I'd have liked it better. More rich people who've got all the options available to them, maybe that's what's wrong. And what exactly is the author's deal with love/hate of married women who don't work? Argh.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-05-22 00:00:00 Ealrie Harper Sometimes it's challenging to find a book that isn't political or educational. This book is just a good read. It's not outstanding, but it's an easy enjoyable book that takes you through the lives of three sisters who don't always get along. I felt like with the youngest sister the story wasn't finished, there certainly could have been more depth to the story, but as far as summer lazy reads go, this is a good one.
