A modern day retelling of Jane Austen's masterpiece Sense and Sensibility.Sisters Gabby and Daphne are nothing alike.
Daphne's the younger sister - she's romantic, believes the best in people, social, and out going.
Gabby's the older more responsible sister. She helps run the household, studies constantly to win a scholarship for college, and has one best friend.
They fight all the time as neither sister can put herself in the other's shoes. Each sister wishes her sister would be more like her. When their mother goes out of town for job training, the two sisters must learn to live together to survive their mother's absence. Will they ever be able to see eye to eye???
My Thoughts: I can't stop thinking about this book - and wondering how much I liked it. As a sister, I can see both sister's view perfectly. On one hand, it was hard to connect with the sisters as they were so dramatic with each other - everything was in black or white. On the other hand - the story was compelling and I needed to see it ended. I really liked Mule and Prentiss. I loved how closely it related to Sense and Sensibility.
Cover Thoughts: I LOVE the cover! Especially the way the purple and the white play off each other
