Sisters by Raina Telgemeier

3.0

---

 While Sisters was adorable, I felt it wasn't as strong as it's predecessor. The book focuses heavily on sibling rivalry that all come to a head while the family is on a road trip. While it was definitely cutesy and had some funny moments, it lacked any sort of depth. It was obvious there was something going on with the parents but that wasn't brought up until almost the last page and there was little reaction from the kids. Also, it depicted Raina's not so fun relationship with her sister but not any sort of resolution. Based on the blurb I thought this would be a book about sisterly bonds, instead it was sibling war with a mild understanding of each other at the end.

Definitely cute, but not as cute as her other works.
