It All Comes Down to This by Therese Anne Fowler
4.0
Thank you Netgalley, St. Martin's Press and Therese Anne Fowler for free e-ARC of It All Comes Down to This in return of my honest review.
I am quite surprised at the low rating, to be honest, becaU do not think it makes the book justice. Yes, it will not become a classic of contemporary literature, however I found the narrative comforting and storyline sympathetic.
After their mother’s death, three sisters had to cone together to acknowledge the loss and to deal with inherited property that all three share wonderful memories of. All three have grown to be independent women with the flows, and all three see the inherited property to only their personal advantage. However, life works in mysterious ways (or was it last wish if their dying mother to make the sister become closer) and their ways of living has changed due to some unforeseen events.
Yes, the plot is slow burning, and I am mot sure if the novel is actually a plot-based one. I feel it is more a character-based which, in my humble opinion, turned pit pretty well. All sisters were fully developed through childhood memories, present time and interaction between each other and with the world in general. The narration is cozy, the way Therese Anne Fowler spins the story and weaves it together, is like a warm blanket that covers the reader and warms her up. There are sone discrepancies about the way characters think, however, I feel like it shows their human nature - people try to be their best (sometimes) and not always succeed.
Overall, I think it is a solid read and don’t be discouraged by low rating and sad reviews- pick it up. You may like it. I am looking forward to more work by Therese Anne Fowler.
