Helpful Score: 1

Don't let the book jacket deceive you about this one! It sounded like an interesting enough story-- sisters working their way through life, careers, love in the wake of one sister's epic live TV blunder. Unfortunately, the story is told through the voice of the sister who has absolutely nothing interesting happen to her. Rise and Shine is almost completely about the "other" sister who is not telling the story, and she is far and away more fascinating than the book's narrator. It is very frustrating in that way. I didn't care at all about the narrator! The writing was lovely, though, but not enough to warrant a more favorable review.
