A great read

I used to be a reader when I was younger, but it has truly been years since I’ve read anything fictional.
I’m so glad I came upon this book within our neighborhoods Little Free Library.
It was easy to follow and hard to put down.
I loved the character development and the entanglement of different relationships.
Highly recommend!

Story is great!

Loved the story but the book itself was very hard to open fully to read the pages. I've ordered several Susan Mallery books on here and none were hard to open fully to see the pages like this one. The print goes too far into the crease of the page if that makes any sense.

Secrets of the Tulip Sisters

This was a wonderful read about the complications of family and especially between sisters. As young children, Kelly was her father Jeff's daughter and Olivia was her mother Merilee's daughter. When Merilee abandoned the family, everything was out of balance and eventually Jeff sent her to private school because Kelly suggested she was becoming out of control and could end up pregnant. Olivia never came back, but maintained contact with her dad. She also found and connected with her mom and began working with her in real estate. She learned that her mother was only out for herself and after a few years was dissatisfied and went home to the tulip farm. This is where our story begins - two estranged sisters learning to become friends and sisters again.
