*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020*

This one of Susan's stories that really keeps you reading.There are three women who are sisters by choice rather than by blood. Sophie who has lost everything when her business burned to the ground. Kristine whose husband leavers her because she is starting her own business. And then there is Amber who blames the world and anyone close for all the woes in her life.Sophie comes back to Blackberry Island to restart her business. She is a control freak and has a problem letting her employees do their jobs. She learns a thing or two about management from the employees and friends on the IslandKristine finds the burden of a failed marriage is hard to handle. She was blindsided when Jaxsen walked out on her. She thinks about giving up on her dream of her business but the women in her life encourage her to keep going. Understanding and trust brings back everything she has lost.Amber is bitter to the end. She always sees the glass half full and never takes responsibility for her own actions. Heather, Amber's daughter is 20 and caught up in her Mothers neediness. When her boss tells her to move on and get a life off the Island, Heather is left thinking maybe. Then when Amber throws her out she does some research to go to the mainland to college, but Elliot surprises her with the tuition paid and a place to live to go to USC. Heather takes him up on the offer and is off to LA. It was hard for her to walk away from her mother but her mothers bitterness gave her the courage to go.The women in this book face real problems and some find answers.  Susan is a writer with a flair for putting characters with real problems in a story that is believable and emotional.What a wonderful book.

    all the feels

Susan Mallery brings all the feels with Sisters by Choice. I'm in love with this book. I love how each of the ladies go through so much change and get stronger from it. Sophie you just feel for her as she is starting all over back in her home town. She has her family around her but it's both for the good and well not exactly bad but close too it. You will see what I mean as you read this one because I'm not going to say more on it. I love how she changes from the control freak workaholic to an almost more relaxed and balanced person. She has a lot of help along the way with this one and you will just love Dugan for her. Then there is Kristine. She is this fabulous mom who is just trying to add more to her life. The struggle she goes through you feel in your heart. You want to yell and scream at her husband Jaxsen at times too. You get the whole picture as you read on and I love how Susan Mallery gives you the full picture slowly. You will just love how everything comes together. Lets not forget. Heather and her mother Amber. You just want to take Heather in your arms and tell her it is okay to go. I love the changes in Heather and with the support from Kristine and Sophie she grows so much. Amber you just want to say grow up already. But I think most of us can relate to knowing someone like Amber from somewhere. This book is all family and the trials of the ups and downs. The support and the bond these ladies have is truly amazing. I loved this book so much and couldn't put it down. I love everything Susan Mallery throws at us.

    Family...even when you make it yourself!
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020*

Sister’s By Choice is a story about cousins…and so much more.  Sophie, Kristine and Heather are the sister by choice in the title, although Heather’s mother, Amber, is really the one Sophie and Kristine grew up with.  Amber is a treasure and definitely needed to the storyline but know she was a character I loved to hate.I won’t retell the story but I will tell you the parts I loved.  Sophie has lost everything she has in the world, or so she thinks, but it is her sister-family that helps ground her and help her start again.  And then she meets Dugan…  In her mind, he upends every business decision she’s ever made…with facts, dang it!  And she’s not sure how to categorize him and put him in a box that she, of course, defines.  He doesn’t fit in one, nor does he stay there when Sophie tries to fit him in one, and it drives her insane.  He does it all with a smile, and love.Kristine and her husband, Jaxsen have a great life and family, if only Kristine would stay in her own lane – of Jaxsen’s choosing, of course. Truthfully, they have issues that you can picture happening to you and that’s what is so perfect about their story.  They are relatable and loving but just hitting a rough patch where they need to communicate in order to move forward.  I LOVED Kristine and how strong she is, even at her most vulnerable.  Over my many years, I’ve been there myself so I understand and admire her character.And Heather.  Hooboy!  Amber, her mother, is a giant piece of work.  Again, most of us can put ourselves in Heather’s shoes to feel as trapped and helpless as she does.  She is a fighter, though, and it is with the support of her cousins and some great business mentors that she grows.  I’m not sure I would have found the inner strength to change my life (at her age).  Took me a few years more…All in all, to me, Sisters By Choice is a coming of age story that really will draw parallels with your own life. It is a heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, laugh-out-loud, snarky humor book that you will be glad that you read.
