Sisters by Daisy Johnson

joetatum24's review against another edition

3.5 stars. The cover of this book is much better than the contents within. I enjoyed that it was a quick read, and experimental prose can be fun, but overall I do not think I will be thinking about this book much after reading it.
It wasn’t bad, just wasn’t as good as the cover.

Super good, but also deeply unsettling in a way that made me kind of glad I don’t have a sister.

Reading this story like a never discovered before Shirley Jackson book meets a more modern piece of media like 13 Reasons Why. Though it took me a few days to really get into the story, once the first plot twist unfolds... I couldn't put it down. The ending left me truly speechless, I'm still a little bit stunned. Gorgeous writing, creepy premise. Wow.

If you like a sloooow burn with a predictable twist, this one's for you. I enjoyed Daisy Johnson's prose, but it was so hard for me to care about the story because it dragged on. At around page 40, I figured it out and if you read lots of books, you'll figure it out too.
A study about mental health and grief, but in the end, it wasn't for me.
