Hello Beautiful (Oprah's Book Club): A Novel by Ann Napolitano
I'm pretty much guaranteed to love any book that's about 4 sisters. This book is sad, but I loved it from start to finish.
Unique and creative, this novel jumps back and forth between the events on the plane and the aftermath of the life of of the twelve-year-old boy who is the sole survivor. Thoughtful and poignant, the relationship between the boy and an awkward neighbor girl is lovely and sweet.
Beautifully written, heart-wrenching tale of familial love and relationships, but I didn't resonate with the feminist stance and the homosexual subplot.
Really enjoyed Hello Beautiful as the character development was for me the best part of the story. Starts slowly but really gets going in the 2nd half of the story after the characters are introduced and the story is put in motion. Covers how the decisions of the first-generation impact on the next and the tough implications of dealing with depression on both the individual involved as well as their loved ones. Cover beautifully the love of sisters who grow up together in close contact and how the relationship changes as they progress through the different phases of their lives. Well worth the ready and will look for more books by this author.… (more)
