Rainy Day Sisters by Kate Hewitt
Hartley By The Sea Series - book 1
Women's Fiction
Published Aug. 4, 2015 by Penguin Group Berkley
My rating 4/5 stars
Received this from NetGalley for an honest review
Synopsis:
Welcome to Hartley-by-the-Sea in England’s beautiful Lake
District, where two sisters who meet as strangers find small miracles
tucked into the corners of every day....
When Lucy Bagshaw’s
life in Boston falls apart, thanks to a scathing editorial written by
her famous artist mother, she accepts her half sister Juliet’s
invitation to stay with her in a charming seaside village in northern
England. Lucy is expecting quaint cottages and cream teas, but instead
finds that her sister is an aloof host, the weather is wet, windy, and
cold, and her new boss, Alex Kincaid, is a disapproving widower who only
hired her as a favor to Juliet.
Despite the invitation she
offered, Juliet is startled by the way Lucy catapults into her orderly
life. As Juliet faces her own struggles with both her distant mother and
her desire for a child, her sister’s irrepressible optimism begins to
take hold. With the help of quirky villagers, these hesitant rainy day
sisters begin to forge a new understanding…and find in each other the
love of family that makes all the difference.
My Thoughts:
I loved this book. Lucy and Juliette are half sisters with a mother who
is selfish and the sisters did not grow up together. Lucy runs to her
sister when her mother ruins her life and her boyfriend dumps her. Lucy
moves into her sister's B&B and they start to get to know each
other. Lucy also starts to make friends. Juliette has always been
standoffish and soon starts warming up to people. How their relationship
develops kept me reading and not wanting to stop.
