Addie dropped out of her master’s program to care for her parents.
Justine, her sister, twenty years older than Addie, is a corporate
lawyer. Making more money, she took care of expenses while Addie was
the caregiver. Now their mother is dead, and Addie wants to move on
with her life.
Justine is faced
with job and marriage challenges and isn’t sure she’ll be able to
support Addie. She’s afraid her job will be abolished, and her
stay-at-home husband would rather play than get a real job. Addie was
supposed to have her parent’s house now Justine wants to fix it up
and sell it because she needs money.
As the sisters face
their challenges, they get to know each other and find support in the
relationship. Although I didn’t like Justine at the start of the
novel, as she faces her challenges, I saw her as a strong woman and
came to respect her. Addie was always my favorite. She just seems
like a nice caring person. I was rooting for her to find herself and
move into the world.
The setting is
perfect for the story. Half Moon Bay is a small town where everyone
knows everyone else. It’s a place where Addie can safely come out
of her shell. It’s also a place that Justine begins to enjoy once
she sheds her corporate lifestyle.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
