The Sister Effect

De: Susan Mallery

Narrado por: Tanya Eby

,"Mallery beautifully illustrates the power of female friendship and the importance of reaching for one's dreams."—Publishers Weekly

Beloved bestselling author Susan Mallery brings readers an emotional, witty, and heartfelt story that explores the nuances of a broken family’s complex emotions as they strive to become whole in this uplifting story of human frailty and resilience.

Finley McGowan is determined that the niece she’s raising will always feel loved and wanted. Unlike how she felt after her mom left to pursue a dream of stardom, and when the grandfather who was left to raise them abandoned her and her sister, Sloane, when they needed him most. Finley reacted to her chaotic childhood by walking the straight and narrow—nose down, work hard, follow the rules.

Sloane went the other way.

Now Sloane is back, as beautiful and as damaged as ever…and she wants a relationship with her daughter. She says she’s changed, but Finley’s heart has been burned once too often for her to trust easily. But is her reluctance to forgive really about Sloane or worry over losing what she loves the most? With the help of a man who knows all too well how messy families can be, Finley will learn there’s joy in surrendering and peace in letting go.

Don't miss #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's latest masterpiece, For the Love of Summer, a captivating story that weaves together the complexities of family, friendship, and unexpected bonds.

Family Rocks

This was one of the best Susan Mallory books I've read to date. I was swept up with the alcoholism and the betrayal of the 2 sisters and how they interacted with this disease in between them. I love the fact that there was a romance but it was on the sidelines and not the focal point of the story. I also really love the narrators in the audiobook and thought that it really added something emotions flies to the book. I would definitely recommend this to anybody that loves women's fiction

Sibling relationships

Love, conflicts and individuality of family members, just loved the interrelationships and growth if characters

The different struggles each sister faced

The narration was not great. The child’s voice was painful to listen to not crazy about the predictability of the ending

Sister Effect

Excellent portrayal of family dynamics in real time. A captivating story of love and heartache.
👍👍👍👍👍

The phases of forgiveness

I absolutely loved the narrator and how the story was told in a continuous manner with great clarity and depth. What an amazing story.
