The Almost Archer Sisters by Lisa Gabriele
4.0
The average rating on this book seemed far lower than I would have expected. Most people who gave it poor ratings 1) didn't like the characters and/or 2) thought the foul language and/or major plot point was too distasteful.
I saw past all that, and I enjoyed this book. It's easy to see how the younger sister took the complacent life while the older sister ran off to live a life in pursuit of material wealth and a husband of status. The natural offshoot is that the sisters' dynamic is unhealthy, and both become entrenched in their specific and opposite ways. Ultimately it is about whether there are limits to forgiveness.
This is definitely a character book and not a plot book.
