I really enjoyed this book. It's not so out there anymore with the DNA kits to find out more about your family, or other families then you bargain for! This story of 3 and a new found sisters was well done and all the characters were well written. Even the sister that drove me crazy was loved at the end. This one had been on my TBR shelf for a while but those are the surprises I like to find. Great book!

I come from a household with three girls so I related to this story except for the fact that I didn't have .a famous father (lol). I loved how the author showed the relationships of the sisters in their state of mourning. I also found the relationship to the sister they never knew existed was developed in a great way. The twists and turns kept me interested, after a slightly slow start. I am excited to have found this author, and will definitely look forward to reading more of her work.
Thank you to Harper Collins, NetGalley, and author Lian Dolan for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Lian Dolan's "The Sweeney Sisters" was equal parts family drama and literary smörgåsbord and I absolutely adored it! From the start of the book with the opening sequence in Liza's art gallery, to the conclusion, I felt a connection with the characters that I have not felt in years. I admired the way each woman was modeled to be her own person, limited by neither her faults nor her passions. I sympathized with Serena, the woman who had grown up without a sister, but I also felt drawn into the circle of others sisters as well. Dolan has done well to create a novel that had its roots sunk deep in the literary free-for-all of the 1960's but keeps its bloom here in the present day 21st century. I most wholeheartedly recommend "The Sweeney Sisters", go out and get your pre-order today!

**Review pulled from NetGalley.com, I received an advanced digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
