The Sun Sister by Lucinda Riley

Electra's story: Preachy, sanctimonious, shallow. Unrealistic, unresearched depiction of addiction and recovery. 
Cecily's story: transformative, admirable, strong.
I struggled to finish this. I truly hope book - #7 The Missing Sister, will be worth reading some otherwise rather mediocre storytelling.
