I enjoyed this book very much. I related to it seeing how my sister and I are not that close. But it is not too late to change that.
thoroughly pleased with this read. it almost read like a series of short stories by two sisters as opposed to a single narrative, but memory works that way. its always a series of events as opposed to a chronological narrative of life from beginning to end.
enjoyed the characters. only dislike was how much focus is placed on the men in their lives. i know that siblings' lives become more complicated when S.O. come into the picture, but not sure that quite to that extreme.

Really beautiful and again heartbreaking. It takes a look at what a life means and how people sort things out differently but still matter to each other despite those differences.
This book was boring. I had the CD from the library and it was in my car. I kept switching to the radio and because of that it took me 5 weeks to finish. I was not sympathetic to the 2 sisters until the last chapter. I have read several of her other books and this was by far a huge disappointment.
Eh, this book was kind of cumbersome to get through. I was a bit confused with the alternating voices of the sisters (each one takes turns narrating) and sometimes, I couldn't figure out "who" was leading me.
A curve ball came out of no where and I had to reread for a while to ensure I didn't miss anything. In true Glass form, the character details are rich; I felt like I knew them. Though I probably wouldn't like them in real life.

Interesting tale of two sisters with a love/hate relationship spanning several decades. Sad and happy, but lots of language I could have done without.
This book was strange. It was kind of a slice of life, but over at least a span of 20 years. It was all about the relationship between 2 sisters, and how it changed over time. It was okay, but not one that I will continue to think about over time, I don't think. Major trigger warning for suicide
This is actually a collection of short stories about two sisters. Each chapter, narrated by first one then the other sister, could stand on its own, which means there is some repetition from chapter to chapter. I liked it but the short story style put me off a bit. On the other hand, kudos to the author for pulling that off.
Louisa is the older, more uptight sister – a failed artist and Clement is the younger free spirit who works in wildlife conservation. They have a complicated relationship which morphs and develops as the book progresses across their teens, twenties, thirties and forties

slow pace, and lacked emotional depth. I was hoping for a page turner, but was disappointed.
I know I gave 4 stars to Three Junes. I had high hopes for I See You Everywhere. Maybe it's not as good, or maybe I'm just in a different place in my life, so I require different things from a book. The book is written alternately from the perspective of two sisters. Their voices didn't sound at all different to me, so whenever I had to put the book down, I always came back going, "Wait, who's taking right now?" I also found I didn't really care about the characters. Not that I wished any evil on them or anything, just that I wasn't much interested in either sister. The end was ok. The whole book was ok.
