California Girls by Susan Mallery

Thank you to Net Galley for the advance copy of this book. I loved reading it. The relationship between the sisters was so interesting. They weren't all nicey nice, they were sometimes quite harsh with each other which I believe might be what sisters are more like. They had their jealousy issues, but at the same time when the chips were really down they were there for each other. I have to admit, I did not like the dad. He played a very small part in the book, but I thought he could have been more supportive. I really did not like the mom. I found her flaky and self indulgent. It always seemed to be all about her and when her "past" re-emerged into her life, her daughters became a mere blip on the radar!!! She was a real piece of work. I believe readers will enjoy this book as it covers many different types of relationships and shows that sometimes things work out and sometimes things don't, but it does show that perseverance and determination are great attributes to have during the difficult times in your life. A great read that I highly recommend!!!
