Stuck, that is, until a handsome, single doctor with an intensely personal relationship with God rents the house next-door and involuntarily drags Joan out of her rut. As Joan struggles to break free, the reader is blessed with the genuine interactions between sisters, and family as a whole that Smith has woven into the story line so well. The dialogue is strong and realistic, the situations true to life and sometimes quite comical, and Joan, though a dejected character in many ways, is likeable and one you cheer for right from the beginning. This alone would have made the book an enjoyable read, but Smith along with entertaining the reader reinforces the need for...

Her characters are realistic, artfully crafted, and endearingly flawed (aren't we all?) and will pull you right into the story from page 1. Here's a warning, though -- don't give the book as a gift unless you're prepared for trouble. Now I have several friends calling to complain that they're chomping at the bit to read the next installment in the series. Please bring us book 2 soon!!! 112 of 146 people found the following review helpful:  Beware : overly christian content, By North (Canada) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Stuck in the Middle (Sister-to-Sister, Book 1) (Kindle Edition) Joan, the middle sister, feels overshadowed by her two, more succesful sisters. She still lives with her grandmother and her mother, does a job that bores her and has been jilted by her fiance. Also, she still misses her father, gone since her parents' divorce. The grandmother is getting old and there is talk of moving her to a assisted-living facility, something Joan is vehemently against. A young doctor, Ken Fletcher, moves next door. Joan is interested in him but so is her younger sister. Who will he choose ? I am sure that the christian content (some of the book is about Joan's seach for God) will be appreciated by some. For me, it was just too much of a good thing. I don't want to preached to when I'm reading romance novels. But mainly, I found Joan really annoying. She spends most of the book complaining (about her name, the fact that she is quiet, her job, and even her relationship with God) and feeling sorry for herself. Ken is not much... Read more |
