I read this in one afternoon and liked how the author described the fragile mother/daughters/sisters relationships. She also portrayed well farm life in the 1930s as well as the Betty Crocker kitchens. The ending, however, seemed a bit contrived. Overall, an interesting read.

4.5 Stars!!!

I devoured this novel in one day! The Sisters of Summit Avenue centers around the complicated and intricate bond of sisters June and Ruth, and their mother, Dorothy. Primary set in the 1930’s, I felt Lynn Cullen gives a very realistic and descriptive viewpoint from that time period. I found the characters very endearing —so much honestly in getting to the heart of the (their) matter that really had all of the characters tugging on my heartstrings. I haven’t read Lynn Cullen before, but I really connected with her writing style! I am thoroughly excited to dive into her previous novels!

I expected to like this book, but somehow I found something lacking and I simply couldn’t get involved.

This is the story of two sisters and their mother, and the secrets that exist between them. I think I found it hard to relate to the concept of the city sister and the farm sister. I just never got involved with any of them.

I did love the background of the Betty Crocker kitchen and her multiple portrayer.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I was not a fan this book. I didn't find any of the characters very likable. It is a story of a mother and her daughters and the secrets they keep.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this novel.

I enjoyed this book. It was an emotional read. Two sisters living different lives are brought together by their mom who has her own secret
My first read by this author and definitely not my last

The Sisters of Summit Avenue is an enchanting story of the relationships between mothers, daughters and sisters. I loved this book and would love to see a sequel!!!

I really wanted to like this, but I couldn't get into it, mainly because I didn't like any of the characters. They all seemed judgmental and pretty miserable.

Some parts of the story just didn't add up smoothly. The ending was very rushed too.

Apologies to Cullen! The plot idea was a good one.
