The Starfish Sisters

Barbara O’Neal’s latest, The Starfish Sisters, is a rich story that will touch your heart in so many ways.

What appealed to you the most in this story?

O’Neal has a way of tapping into all your emotions, while drilling straight down into the soul of her characters, and she did this with each of her characters through the theme of found family…which I can never get enough of. I loved the way Pheobe and Suze were basically sisters and how sisterhood played a part in their summers, and everything wasn’t always peachy keen. Their childhoods and teen years slowly unfold throughout the story through dual timelines, as each woman remembers different experiences and traumas, while in the present they seek to find their way back to each other.

How was the pace?

This was a slow burn character driven story.

Do you recommend this book?

This is a heartbreaking and at the same time heartwarming story about two women coming back together and coming to terms with a tragic past and realizing that they still have each other and more.

Thank you, Amazon Publishing, for this gifted copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
