Book Review of True Colors

True Colors
True Colors
Author: Kristin Hannah
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


I'm not usually drawn to this type of book -- relationships, sisters, love, trouble, etc. -- but this is one of my favorite books now. By halfway through the book, I was carrying it around with me and reading it EVERY chance I got. Tough to put down.

Kristin Hannah does a great job of developing the characters, weaving suspense, drama and even comedy throughout the story. I experienced emotional highs and lows as I related to each sister in different ways. The story was believable and I actually felt like I could have lived those lives -- it could have happened to me.

The only character I couldn't relate to was dad and I felt like the ending didn't do him justice, but I choose to overlook that 'flaw' (and his character) to enjoy everything else about the book.

I highly recommend this book as a look into families, relationships, (real) love and (pretend) love and so much more. Enjoy!
