A review by serenitylive
The Precious One by Marisa de los Santos

4.0

Really unique premise - Taisy still longs for love and approval from her larger-than-life, unkind and estranged father who left one family (when Taisy was a teen) and started a new one. Willow is the bright, beloved and sheltered daughter of the second family. The father's heart attack is the catalyst to bring the sisters together. I'm a de los Santos fan - I enjoy her style and always get the sense that we love very similar things. She always has sentences I want to read again. There are several layers to each story in the book, and I didn't love them all. But Willow is lovely and Taisy loveable, and the entire book smells like fall.
