"Divorce left Harper Szymanski with a name no one can spell, a house she can't afford and a teenage daughter who's pulling away. With her fledgling virtual-assistant business, she's scrambling to maintain her overbearing mother's ridiculous Susie Homemaker standards and still pay the bills...
"Spending half her life in school hasn't prepared Dr. Stacey Bloom for her most daunting challenge--motherhood. She didn't inherit the nurturing gene like Harper and is in deep denial that a baby is coming...
"Separately they may be a mess, but together Harper and Stacey can survive anything--their indomitable mother, overwhelming maternity stores and ex's weddings. Sisters Like Us is a delightful look at sisters, mothers and daughters in today's fast-paced world, told with Susan Mallery's trademark warmth and humor." --from the publisher
I gave this one 2 stars out of 5. The characters are so exaggerated that I found it hard to read and almost impossible to enjoy. Everyone is either too insecure, too overbearing, too nice, too patient, or too perfect. Sometimes that's okay--it is fiction after all--but I felt the majority of the story dwelt on the negative in the relationships and circumstances.
