The Sea Sisters
by Lucy Clarke
There are some currents in the relationship between sisters that run so dark and so deep, it’s better for the people swimming on the surface never to know what’s beneath . . .
Katie’s carefully structured world is shattered by the news that her headstrong younger sister, Mia, has been found dead in Bali – and the police claim it was suicide.
With only the entries of Mia’s travel journal as her guide, Katie retraces the last few months of her sister’s life, and – page by page, country by country – begins to uncover the mystery surrounding her death.
What she discovers changes everything. But will her search for the truth push their sisterly bond – and Katie – to breaking point?
I seem to be the odd one out with my rating but I couldn't bring myself to give higher than 2 stars. The writing was lovely but the story was weak. The coincidences were too great and the fact that Katie was reading Mia's diary only when she went to the same place was just too unbelievable!
I prefer my books to be either with a hint of magic/supernatural which makes the coincidences acceptable or for them to be true-to-life. The fact that I was scanning the pages rather than reading them proved to me that I wasn't savouring the book at all but just wanted to get to the resolution at the end.

Spoiler
The fact that both Mia and Noah had damaged father/child relationships, damaged sibling relationships, guilt issues was too much for credibility.I prefer my books to be either with a hint of magic/supernatural which makes the coincidences acceptable or for them to be true-to-life.
