Good Minds Suggest: Emily Giffin's Favorite Books About Sisters
Posted by Goodreads on July 4, 2016
The View from Penthouse B by Elinor Lipman
"Two middle-aged sisters, one unexpectedly widowed and another divorced and Ponzi-scheme poor, move into a Village apartment in this romantic comedy about love, loneliness, and fresh starts. Lipman is one of my all-time-favorite writers, and she brilliantly captures all the tension, humor, and sweetness of the sister relationship."
I See You Everywhere by Julia Glass
"Told in a series of snapshots by two sisters, Louisa and Clement, each in her own distinctive voice, this book spans 20 years of ups and downs, jealousies, and regrets. Through Louisa and Clement, Glass illustrates what I believe to be true—that in some ways it's impossible to truly know another person, even one you think you know the most."
Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld
"A story about sisters—identical twins, no less—with psychic powers. Sittenfeld's characters are always deeply drawn, but these are two of her richest and most original. My sister and I read this one together—and both loved it."
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
"A charming and cleverly constructed coming-of-age novel about another pair of identical twin sisters, each trying to carve out her own identity during their freshman year of college. Set against the backdrop of Internet fandom, Rowell describes the confusion, humor, and excitement that comes with stepping out and growing into your own skin—both with, and without, your sister."
A Soft Place to Land by Susan Rebecca White
"A heartfelt story of sisters who are split up by tragedy at an early age and whose once close relationship is tested by years of separation and misunderstanding, anger and jealousy. In the end, though, White finds sisterly redemption for her characters, showing just how strong this special bond is."

Emily:Please consider adding Sara Lost and Found to your list of books about sisters, which addresses foster kids and their challenges. Thanks so much.
Just finished David Lagercrantz The Girl in The Spiders Web. Not as absorbing as the original series but worth a read.

Everyone should read the new 2016 book The Assistants by Camille Perri. It's just out. It is so cleverly written, so funny, page turner. This is her first book. I could not put it down! Check it out.Kathleen
