Almost Sisters (Jackson) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
The Almost Sisters is one of the most delightful books I’ve read in a good while — it’s packed with Jackson’s trademark blend of quirky and endearing characters, who find themselves in messes of their own making. (Don’t we all.) Lots for book groups to talk about, so be sure to put this one on your list.  READ MORE…

Jackson has packed in all the drama needed for a fast-paced summer read, but this isn’t your average beach book. Dark secrets and racism plague Grandma Birchie’s seemingly charming southern town, and…villains aren’t [always] easy to identify.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) [A] light-dark Southern story…. Book clubs will find much to talk about in this multigenerational, Southern tale of sisters, friendship, and small-town life, including the author's signature quirky characters and deft touch.  —Laurie Cavanaugh, Thayer P.L., Braintree, MA
Library Journal


[C]ompulsively readable.… Jackson’s characteristic humor, absorbing characters, and candid depictions of messy families.
Booklist


(Starred review.) [A]nother spirited page-turner set in a new South still haunted by the ghosts of the old.… Perhaps the novel overreaches—the ending is a bit sober for what comes before—but it's not a major flaw. A satisfying, entertaining read from an admired writer who deserves to be a household name.
