Names My Sisters Call Me
by Megan Crane (Goodreads Author)
by Megan Crane (Goodreads Author)
Here's the thing about sisters, don't ever open your mouth unless it's your own. I know this because I am a sister.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Did I ever love this book. Family dynamics are always a favorite, but this time the love story wasn't some side step. It was a true mix of life and all the steps it takes you. I loved every minute of it.
I could relate to Courtney on so many levels, and it's why I had no problem almost hating her when I thought she was about to ruin something she couldn't even see. Newly engaged, all she wants is to bring her family who is pretty messed up in their own sense back together for her wedding to Lucas. What she doesn't expect is to find out the harsh reality of their feelings and let alone her own. The sisters infuriated me and yet I loved them. First love, Matt freaking Cheney, who broke Courtney's heart when he took off six years ago might as well been the Devil yet I secretly couldn't wait for him to show back in the story. And when he did, I wanted to slap him, make him leave, and then tell him to come back. The best person to tell you how entirely stupid you're being is your best friend in this case Verena who added so much comedy I loved it. But all along there was Lucas. Strong reasonable Lucas who has always seen Courtney for who she was. Sweet lord have mercy where can I find a Lucas for myself? No, this isn't the type of story where the girl suddenly finds herself when she finds the guy. The guy found her long ago, and it was really up to her to realize it herself.
It's official. Megan Crane is on my all-time favorite authors list. I envy her writing abilities like nobody's business and wish I had her talent. I cannot wait to read more of her novels!
