Trust Me on This by Lauren Parvizi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved this story of two mostly-estranged step-sisters who go on a road trip together to see their sick dad. I loved that they each had unique 3-dimensional personalities. I loved the little bit of romance and I loved that we also got to see both of their moms in their own homes. I loved the tiny details around the cars, the cat, the food. I loved the food.
By the end of this story, I was attached to both of the sisters and felt like I was rooting for them and riding along the journey with them. There’s a twist at the end that I am not sure was necessary. It didn’t ruin the story for me but it also didn’t really add to it, in my opinion.
I still loved how this book tackled both the complexities of the trauma each sister carried and navigated the texture of sisterhood. (even if a step-sisterhood.)
