What a wonderful story. This one just flowed for me, each character was relatable and touched my heart. I shed some tears with this one as each lady overcame her struggle/problem. Boston holds a special place in my mind for sure! I will have a book hangover for weeks about these characters. Well done Susan Mallery another winner in my book!

Really enjoyed this book and one of Susan’s best! --First the setting on Blackberry Island, 3 historical homes (Three Sisters) and renovations, and three different characters, all with their own individual issues and stories. Susan did a great job with the women -- as true to life issues of today living next door to one another.

Deanne/Colin- married with OCD with five daughters), (Boston-cannot recover from the loss of her baby so she and her husband Zeke are drifting apart), and then (Andie-the main character-a pediatrician who moves from Seattle to Blackberry Island after being left at the alter-trying to find a new life with her new home, new practice, and of course meets her hunky contractor –Wade).

It would be wonderful to have female friends and neighbors-who can be so different and bond. – A good ending! A book of healing, loss, forgiveness, and love.

Three Sisters by Susan Mallery
The three sisters houses each one owned by a different person.
Andi has just moved to the island to set up her pediatrician office, working at the local doctor office til her practice opens after renovating her house/office space.
Boston and Zeke are on one side of Andi. She is a textile artist with many medias, and he is a contractor, along with his brother Wade who lives on the island with his teen daughter.
On the other side of Andi is Colin and Deanna. He is a sales man traveling during the week, spends time with the 5 daughters they have. She works part-time at the craft shop, quilting, scrapbooking, knitting, etc.
Love the set up of the town as they have a yoga studio and a farmers market. Just sounds like the place one could just drop into and feel right at home.
Each of them have troubles to work through and with help from one another they might achieve just the peace they need inside.
Joy, pain, happy, sad you get to experience it all from different points of view.
The Three Sisters Houses to me symbolize the three women that live in the houses and how they become sisters due to communication and faith that you can fix anything...

I had the day off & decided to spend it reading something light & wound up finishing the whole thing! I absolutely LOVE this book. The character development is fantastic & the way the characters dealt with their problems was fairly realistic.
If you're looking for an easy read with a happily ever after ending, that makes you yearn for summer, this is definitely the book for you!

Now I remember why I love Susan Mallery's books! I could not put this book down. Her women's fiction stories are just as good if not better than her romances!

This was a well written novel about three different women, living next to each other, and their respective life struggles, that included being left at the altar, the loss of a child, overcoming OCD and other issues.

Deanna and Boston live next to each other.  Andi moves in next door. They become friends as each others lives are a mess. They each heal their own way.  Andi starts a relationship with Wade the contractor. He is afraid to commit since he has a 12 year old. Spent alot of time on character development.  Conflict and resolution happen quickly.

Mallery always tells a good story. I found this Blackberry Island tale a bit more plausible than the first. Eventually, probably in the middle of the night, I will read another Mallery romance. Her HEAs are usually good.
