Cassie and Sid both have their dramas. Cassie is feeling unfulfilled, bored with her life. She's got a great husband and the kids she always wanted, but she's not as happy as she thought she'd be. Sid is in Singapore with her husband and two children. She barely knows anyone there and her husband is always away. The two sisters send letters pouring their hearts out, telling each other things you'd only tell a spouse or closest friend. But through a weird glitch, Cassie winds up actually posting all of their letters online. Then she has a lot of explanations and apologies owed to others. Funny at times, sweet at others. I liked it but didn't love it. I didn't like Cassie that much for a lot of the book. I mean, I get it, if Cassie was perfect then she wouldn't have had anything to be embarrassed about when her secrets got out. (  ) Mishale1 | Dec 29, 2018 | I think the slow start is due in large part to the beginning's low stakes. Okay, so two sisters who live half a world apart, inspired by their grandparents' love letters, decide to keep in touch for the next year by snail mail. It's a nice idea, but whether they succeed or fail, so what? Then the stakes get raised. Each sister is confessing problems with her marriage, and somehow their epistles are published on a blog, and it seems like their letter-writing could have some serious consequences! On the whole, I thought this was a sweet, easy read, and it left me a little nostalgic for the days of real, handwritten mail. At the same time, the relationship that for me rang most true was Cassie's with her husband, not with her sister Sid. Still, this would make a good gift for a sister with whom you're hoping to keep in better touch. Note: I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. ( ) BraveNewBks | Aug 8, 2017 | When the half way mark came, the story shifted and Cassie became less critical. When she lost it on the guy in line behind her at the coffee shop I was right there with the barista cheering her. Or the moment when her youngest had an accident and he took off down the street half naked with joy. Cassie took out her phone to film and enjoy the moment. What really made this book was getting back to the basics. There was very little mention of social media. It was just the pure emotion and anticipation of waiting for the next letter. (  ) Cherylk | Jul 31, 2017 | Cassie and her sister Sid are not only siblings, they are best friends. But, with the happenings of daily life they find it hard to keep in touch. Sid suggests they write each other letters and through these letters secrets and/or confessions are revealed. Cassie makes a huge mistake with the letters that broadcasts the letter on the internet. This brings an audience waiting to see what happens or what will be disclosed next. I really liked this book because it is a lighthearted read and felt like this could happen to anyone.

"What would happen if the intimate secrets you shared with your sister suddenly went viral? Sisters Cassie and Sid Sunday have not done a bang-up job of keeping in touch. In their defense, it hasn't been easy: Life veered in sharply different directions for the once-close sisters. Today, beautiful and bighearted Sid lives an expat's life of leisure in far-off Singapore, while harried, iPhone-clutching Cassie can't seem to make it work as a wife and mom to twin toddlers in Manhattan. It doesn't help that Sid spurns all social media while Cassie is addicted to Facebook. So when Sid issues a challenge to reconnect the old-fashioned way--through real, handwritten letters--Cassie figures, why not? The experiment exceeds both of their expectations, and the letters become a kind of mutual confessional that have real and soul-satisfying effects. And they just might have the power to help Cassie save her marriage, and give Sid the strength to get her life back on track. But first, one of Cassie's infamous lapses in judgment comes back to bite her, and all of the letters wind up the one place you'd never, ever want to see them: the Internet"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

fiction (love-lives/social media/correspondence between friends). I think I was hoping for more of a griffin & sabine experience (minus all the loose pieces of paper), but I skimmed through the first few chapters to give it a chance. Cassie's character is a bit whiny (with lots of TMI about her non-existent sex life) for my taste--she probably gets better as her correspondence with Sid continues, but ultimately this wasn't for me. It might suit a different person fine (a different generation, maybe). (
