The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown

Debut novel?? No way. How can someone write a book this good the first time out of the gate???
Can you tell that I like this book? If you have sisters I bet you will like it even better!
Rose, Bean and Cordy are the Andreas sisters. They grew up in a small, academic town where their father taught Shakespeare. Actually he did more than teach it. He seems to be obsessed with the Bard. So the girls grew up in a constant barrage of Shakespeare quotes and the girls also toss them out with little effort. Rose never went far from the friendly confines of her hometown. Bean went off to glamorous (but expensive) New York City. Now she is home for reasons she would like to keep to herself. Cordy- well Cordy has wandered everywhere and now she too is home - carrying a big secret. Now they are all together under the same old roof with the same old conflicts. Things are more stressful because of their mother's breast cancer and the treatments that go along with it.
I loved this book and highly recommend it. I hope Ms. Brown is working on another book!
