Commencement

I thought this was a very very cute book and I flew through it! absolutely idd not want to put it down. it chronicled the college years of 4 girls who met freshman year in college, all lived on the same floor, at Smith, the known all girl lesbian college in the northeast. These are 4 very different girls and yet they strike up unlikely life-long friendships. I thought that Sullivan did a very good job portraying the real characters and feelings of everyone in the book and I totally didn't want it to end! And there is a happy ending! always nice. A great beach read I would say.

One Day

Read this on the reccommendation of my mom and i'm not so sure how I feel about it. I know it was supposed to be one of those cute love stories but really it just kind of frustrated me and made me very annoyed with both of the characters most of the time. They never seemed to be very happy in the lives they were in and yet they never actually tried to fix it until things just happened to them. Then the ending! ugh, very not cool but I can't tell you that part....

The Lies We Told

This is a really beautiful story about two sisters, Maya and Rebecca, who witness their parents murder during their teen years. They both grow up to become talented and respected doctors, Rebecca working for a disastor relief organization and Maya working with children. Rebecca never has time for men and Maya marries a great guy Adam. They all reach a rough spot when Maya has one too many miscarriages and the way Chamberlain shows the underlying feelings and thoughts of the two sisters is heart-wrenching and truthfully portrayed.

Through all this they are helping out at a hurricane in North Carolina, dealing with a missing sister, and interior fears. Very good read and the only complaint I have with it was the ending. I kind of felt like Chamberlain just wrapped it up because she got sick of writing the story.
