I received this book through the Early Reviewers program. While it does drag on and become repetitive in many instances (she mentions the damn family reunion almost every other line), overall it's an ok book about the ties between mothers and daughters, and the ties between sisters that hold families together, for right or wrong.

I liked the second half of the book a lot more than the first half. ( )

This is a funny, sad, happy and rollicking story of a family of women (father deceased) in a small Sousth Carolina town. It depicts closeness between mother and daughter, between sisters, between aunts and nieces and between good friends. ( )

This story is about a woman Emma and her sisters and mother, plus a bunch of extended family. I didn't love this book, ( )

I got this from early reviewers and as always was excited to recieve a free book. In the end I was glad it was that. Free. I have read her other books and enjoyed them but this one just never took hold. I just never felt a connection with any of the characters in the book and the ending seemed to be very rushed and didn't seem to tie up any of the story. I wish it had been better. ( )

This was an Early Reviewer Book. I have read all the reviews and I couldn't disagree more! This was the first book I have read of Kris Radish and I loved it, in fact I just bought a copy for my siser. The book is the story of a family told by one sister. The characters are a mother, four sisters, nieces, nephews, in-laws and new family members. It is an honest look into the lives of the many members that make up a family and how we think we know our siblings based on our experiences as childrens. However, we don't really know what goes on in their homes and their private lives as we fall back into our childhood relationships any time we get together. This book was interesting and I came to like all the characters, especially Emma. ( )
