Type of read: Commuter Read.
What made me pick it up: I was searching my local library for something different from what I have been reading and available immediately. 'Sisters' popped up and the description along with the cover art completely got me.
Overall rating: The way my jaw dropped multiple times during 'Sisters.' I'm still not sure I entirely understand what really happened, but I absolutely loved the way Johnson wove through the words and feelings of July and September and made you question so.many.damn.things throughout this entire book. I think I'll need to read 'Sisters' again, maybe in a tangible version, to really get the full story. If you're looking for a shorter, psychological mind-bender of a read - and aren't queasy - 'Sisters' is for you.
