I could hardly put this book down! At the end of chapter 2, a divorced mother and her young son have picked up a bleeding man at the store and are taking him home with them. The story just gets better and better. This book made me laugh and made me cry and above all, shows the power of love and how important it is to pay attention to your children.

I truly enjoyed this tale of three (not so weird) sisters and the stories of their coming onto adulthood. It's a testament to the fact that change is good and it IS possible to rewrite your story...and have a happy ending. I think the most interesting thing about this book in addition to all the Shakespearean references, was the voice. The author calls it "first person plural, narrated in the voices of all three sisters." At first, it did make me stop and think about who was speaking. Something would happen to one sister and suddenly all three were commenting upon it. This was very weird, but I came to enjoy its unique perspective. All in all, a very enjoyable book.
