Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: This is one of the best books I have read. It will make you laugh and cry at the same time. It is awesome. If you like Kristin, this is a page turner and you will not be able to put it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WONDERFUL BOOK
Review: This is the best book I've read in a long, long time. It brought out every emotion in me. I've loved all of Kristin Hannah's books and can't wait until she writes another one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Good Effort
Review: This story takes place in an enjoyable setting with decent characters. I did find Meg's behavior somewhat inconsistent with her makeup, but loves all the others. This is a decent summer read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Between Around and All About Them
Review: This was such a satisfying read for me that I too had to pace myself because I did not want it to end. I loved the characters in this book and plead with Ms Hannah to bring them all back to life in a trilogy! The entire cast of characters were very well thought out and depicted as every day people and professionals making their way in the world. I love the way she gave each one of them their own special personality quirks and the way humor was wound into the dialogue. The witty remarks helped to soften the tension and brought them to where the reader could really relate. After all, don't we all think these things and wish we'd said them? I love the pairing of Meg and Joe's story. Claire is just automatically loved. But, beside the main characters, Ali was a joy to encounter: the chatterbox little munchkin who weaves her way in and out of everyone's heart. Gina the best friend and loyal sister who everyone wants to possess in their family. And Mama.....I'm imagining her reunion with Sam someday. How romantic it would be to put that relationship right....trade her free spirit with Sam's sense of responsibility to family and visa versa and you could have a real Dallas type Dynasty going!
The way this author addresses the delicate issues legal and medical professionals face that can affect their personal and professional lives is excellent. You see the extreme, the obsessed, the egocentric and negative. You are relieved when sensibilities are rescued and fascinated by the process.
Although I most definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a good romantic relationship drama and praise Kristin Hannah for her excellent skills, you might feel as I did; a bit disappointed in the way the ending was wrapped up so quickly. It was almost contrite. I'm truly hoping Ms Hannah did this purposely so she could continue the story in another novel......Don't wait too long Kristin! I miss them already!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great summer reading
Review: This was the first book that I've read by this author and I was very pleasantly surprised. I am going to have to read more by her now. Normally I read Danielle Steel, Lavyrle Spencer, Barbara Delinsky, Eileen Goudge, and Sandra Brown. I am definitely adding Kristin Hannah to my list of must reads. It is rare that a book can make me cry but this one did! Gread story about sisters and the thin line between love and hate that they sometimes walk.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: deep character study
Review: Though she is wealthy, divorce lawyer Meghan Dontess is lonely. She has been forlorn ever since she made a decision twenty-five years ago that benefited her beloved younger stepsister but left her alone. Their mother left the two siblings behind in Sacramento while she went off to Hollywood. Sixteen at the time, Meghan worried about her younger sibling Claire so she called the father of her stepsister. He came immediately as Claire was family, but Meghan felt he left her out as her father was someone else. The relationship between the sisters was never the same.

When an estranged husband of a client almost kills Meghan, her colleagues and her psychiatrist tell her to go on vacation. Meghan has no place to go until Claire calls to tell her that she is marrying singer Bobby Austin. Meghan leaves Seattle for the campgrounds owned by Claire and her father in Hayden, Washington to protect her stepsister. As she realizes that Bobby loves Claire, Meghan falls in love with former doctor Joe Wyatt, who has more ghosts to contend with than Meghan.

Though the angst at times feels overwhelming, fans of relationship dramas will take immense pleasure with Kristin Hannah's strong cast. Meghan, as the center of the tale, enables the audience to see deep inside her soul. The rest of the ensemble augments that perspective so that the audience observes a powerful tale of childhood demons that motivates adult behavior. BETWEEN SISTERS is more than just the relationship between the siblings, as the audience will appreciate this deep character study.

Summary: Emotional Rollercoaster
Review: What a great book! The story of Meg and Claire will evoke every emotion you can muster up...anger, misunderstanding, happiness, sadness, joy...I could go on and on. I don't even need to describe the story line, all you need to know is that if you like a heartwarming story...this is the book for you. Kristin Hannah has done it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: After reading this book, I'm a new Kristin Hannah fan!!
Review: Wow, what a great book!! This was my first Kristin Hannah novel and definitely won't be my last! I laughed with these characters, I cried with them and I also rejoiced with them. I'm amazed at Hannah's ability to make you to feel what her characters are feeling. In fact, I really feel like I know them personally now and I'm sad that the story is over. This book was a fun read and a fast page turner. I really didn't want to stop reading once I started. Read this book!!
