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.

È una buona penna, la scrittura fila, per quando la mancanza di dialoghi definiti (sta moda alla Rooney deve finire vi prego) mi disturbi, lo trovo un bello stile.
La trama viaggia su piani inquieti e poco reali che non riesce a convincermi e spesso mi annoia: da qui, il finale mi ha molto deluso. Ma possono essere gusti.
Per quanto estremamente difficili e irritanti, i personaggi e le loro relazioni sono spiegati benissimo e la tossicità delle loro vite passa perfettamente al lettore. In questo, nulla da dire: vorresti proprio entrare nel libro e scuotere tutti quanti.
Ma rimane comunque un libro che non sono riuscita ad apprezzare a pieno.
