Women This is the first book that I read by Susan Mallery that takes place on "Blackberry Island" and now want to go back and purchase Barefoot Season (Blackberry Island) which I understand is the first novel to take place in this setting. This novel has three main characters and deals with a whole host of issues. First, Andi Gordon, leaves Seattle to move to Blackberry Island after being left at the altar. Andi decides that she needs to get away from her family and bad memories and open up her own pediatrician practice. Second, Deanna Phillips, due to a horrible childhood strives to always be the perfect wife and mother. The problem is that Deanna's family finds her suffocating and she realizes that something has to give before she loses everything. Third, Boston King, though she has perfect marriage is still dealing with a horrible loss that is slowly affecting her and her husband. The "three sisters" in the book title refer to three Queen Anne homes that are next to each other on Blackberry Island that Andi, Deanna, and Boston all live in. I have to say that I really did love this novel. However, I think when novels like this have so many interesting characters and plots you always end up liking other characters more. For me, I was less interested in Andi's story as much as I was interested in Deanna and Boston's personal stories. Deanna and Boston to me had serious issues that they needed to work through and though I did like Andi I found myself rushing through the novel anytime it shifted the focus back to her. I really do wish that Ms. Mallery had broken the novel into a trilogy that focused on one woman at a time in order for the reader to become completely immersed in each character. Due to the heavy issues that this novel dealt with I guess I don't know how realistic it is that Deanna and Boston's could have been fixed as fast as the timeline in the novel shows. I do want to say though that I am definitely looking forward to the next novel in this series! A recommended read. With her Blackberry Island series, Susan Mallery brings her readers stories about realistic characters whose lives are far from perfect. The second installment, Three Sisters, is a touching and heartfelt novel that is deeply compelling and full of emotion. The main characters are three very different women who form an unlikely friendship as they cope with some serious challenges in their private lives.

HTML: New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's prose has been called "gritty and magical" and "luscious and provocative" (Publishers Weekly). Now she returns to Blackberry Island with the story of three women whose friendship will change their lives forever. After Andi Gordon is jilted at the altar, she makes the most impetuous decision of her life--buying one of the famed Three Sisters Queen Anne houses on Blackberry Island. Now the proud-ish owner of the ugly duckling of the trio, she plans to open her own pediatric office on the first floor, just as soon as her hunky contractor completes the work. Andi's new future may be coming together, but the truth is she's just as badly in need of a major renovation as her house. When Deanna Phillips confronts her husband about a suspected affair, she opens up a Pandora's box of unhappiness. And he claims that she is the problem. The terrible thing is, he's right. In her quest to be the perfect woman, she's lost herself, and she's in danger of losing her entire family if things don't change. Next door, artist Boston King thought she and her college sweetheart would be married forever. Their passion for one another has always seemed indestructible. But after tragedy tears them apart, she's not so sure. Now it's time for them to move forward, with or without one another. Thrown together by fate and geography, and bound by the strongest of friendships, these three women will discover what they're really made of: laughter, tears, love and all.
