karenllowe 's review for:
The Sunshine Sisters
by Jane Green
A quick, enjoyable read, super for a summer weekend.
I thought the characters were almost 'stock', meaning they were almost charicatures personality-wise, due to their reactions to their upbringing. One was aloof and withdrawn, one with low self-esteem who resorts to eating for comfort, the third, a golden baby - outgoing, driven and beautiful. While I was riveted by how Jane Green moved the story forward with their drama and came to a satisfying conclusion, I felt at time that it had an 'after-school special' approach to the themes. By that I mean it was light yet with a few good messages, but they were rather predicatable and almost cliche.
