(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
So if you're a fan of literary sisters, you have to read Drizzle, Dreams and Lovestruck Things. I adored how unique each sister's POV was, their narration voice and internal introspection. It felt like reading a series of connected vignettes (which reminded me of Three Kisses One Midnight). What I loved about the sister POVs was - not only their individual stories - but also the ways in which they see each other. All these layers of (mis)communication and how we see ourselves versus how others see us.
The layers of (self)perception. And don't even get me started on how precious their family is from their inn to their delightful father. It was all charming and every time I went to read, I had a smile on my face. I read this basically in four sittings so I could read one sister POV at a time. Some themes which stretched across the stories (but was first brought up in one sister's POV) was how we sometimes have to let go of the plan. It's interesting how people think we have things under control, but secretly feel like a puzzle piece that doesn't belong anymore.
