Sisters (2007) by Danille Steel
A story between four lovely sisters who were about to face a predicaments and struggle they didn't wish for.
It was my second book from Mrs. Steel. All I could say, The Gift was a bit better than this book. Sisters was way too repetitive like how everyone's pov was paraphrase all the time. We know it's tragic, it was sad and hopeless, we get it. It wasn't necessary to repeat the same thoughts all over again. Readers would typically fed up by how things turned out. Honestly, it was poorly written, I felt like I'm reading a 7th grade schooler essays. Maybe Mrs. Steel run out with ideas that's why she's lumping all of the following stuff in a so-called manuscript.
This book could spark certain debates regarding with how unrealistic the standard of the woman being written and portray. The girls were beautiful and drop dead gorgeous individuals who could knock-out the vouge and runaway magazines--which is what we expect on a typical and fictional romance? They get the guys, swooned by their handsome features and charisma, a good-background, interesting standpoint and wealth. Men that doesn't exist in the first place.
People here were too rash at making decisions and choices as well. Some were absurd and pretty obvious that it will go down to drain yet still picking that pathetic options and such.
Although it was all predictable til' the end, I was still sympathetic from the misfortunes and problems they were experiencing. It was relatable at some point. The loss that bares the pain of those who were left. Lossing things seems natural but still it hits different when you were attached to it. When you dwell and cherished something more valuable like a behalf of your life and then suddenly, I guess the universe doesn't want to make you happy so they took it away from you? That dilemma that I could never withstand.
But what makes really scary for me, is that they've moved on, everyone was moving on and they forget those things like it never happened. Am I afraid of being forgotten? I guess so. But I dunno why. I think it doesn't matter anyway since things passed by like a running river.
Even though the book was poorly written, I could pick 2 or 3 lessons that I would probably apply with myself.
