why did i rate this the same as Claire when IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT I CRY MY EYES OUT DURING SYBIL?!

i shouldn't ever rate these things. i never make any sense when i'm rating books, but otherwise, i make so much sense. for instance, i have been spending hours making a google image collection of all the actors i would require to film the whole Sebastian Sisters series. yes, is a very quarantine thing to do, BUT the 1991-me that loved these books without even genuinely liking them would soooo totally get it.

While each book in the Sebastian Sisters series highlights one of the sisters the series really show the progression of the family dynamics as the girls grow up and discover the life they lived wasn't real. Sybil's story is one of the most dramatics as several plot lines come to an explosive head. I'm looking forward to Meg's story to hopefully wrap everything up.

Bizarre book populated by the most dysfunctional family ever. Perhaps I would have liked it more if I had read the rest of the series, but I have no desire to.
