By chapter 12, I could not suffer another minute of Laura character. She is absolutely insufferable - the narration probably doesn’t help.
It wasn’t worth the effort to keep listening.

Didn’t enjoy

This book is so good 😊 you are not sure about anything right up until the exciting edge of your seat ending. I will definitely read all this author has to offer. And the narration was good too. Well done Ruth Harrow (the author).

Fantastic, edge of seat

Dear Sister is an engaging story about families, particularly sisters, and the ways in which these relationships work.

The sudden arrival of the Laura and Rachel's long-lost father causes tensions between the two sisters as they try to navigate a relationship with him amidst anger, betrayal, suspicion and a desire for fatherly affection and acceptance. The two sisters seem very different and their approach to their father throws this in high relief, with Laur wanting a father daughter bond immediately, while Rachel is more circumspect.
The book plays out more as Rachel's story as she navigates a life post heartbreak as hopes of a loving husband and children, like that enjoyed by her sister, seem to constantly elude her.
Laura seems to have troubles of her own, there is a greater tension in her household which is pushed to breaking point when her father ends up moving in.
As the sisters realize each has been keeping secrets, they start to understand that perhaps neither of them are as close t the other as they first thought.

Overall, this was a engaging book and the characters and their concerns were well paced and effective. The tension created by the father's arrival added the pressure needed to push the narrative along and the reveals were satisfying although a tad predictable in some cases.

Overall well worth your time.

Kept me interested, a solid psychological thriller

Story had twists and turns, narrator was a bit shouty. It turns out I didn’t like the Laura character for a good reason !
