The Sisters Club Lauren BaratzLogsted 9781626817050 Books Reviews

The eclectic group of women who at first try and band together have major disagreements, idle thoughts which turn into life-changing and not always wise decisions, yet eventually laugh and cry together as well as support each other. I say eventually because initially there are distinctive personality clashes which I honestly didn't think could to be resolved; when certain characters had personal revelations and changed their opinions of others I needed tissues.

The character development is huge, encompassing all sorts of relationships with both family and friends. It is interesting how the women pull through for each other, and also stand back as major decisions are taken by each of them as they change their not so wonderful present life to one they think they'll be happier with. Both the huge events and the tiny daily tasks that each of them do make it an engaging read.

It's a book which I was sad to finish because I enjoyed the motley crew who enabled each other to find meaning to their lives and follow their dreams, or what they thought was their dreams.

Diana is starting a new part of her life after her move from England to the USA to live with her new husband. While she loves him very much, she can’t help but miss her own family and friends. To feel less alone, she decides to start a ‘sisters club’, a place for women to bond and talk to each other, and she places an advertisement in a local newsletter. This is the start of an interesting friendship for Diana and the three women who respond to the ad Cindy, who has a dead-end job in a lingerie shop and a controlling boyfriend; chef Sylvia who has lost her beloved twin sister to breast cancer; and Lise, a creative writing professor who wants nothing more than to write and release her own novel. The club is the start of a new friendship between all of them; a friendship that comes with ups and downs and big changes for all of them.

I really loved the main plotline of ‘The Sisters Club’; the idea of four completely different women being brought together by an advertisement for a book club which is the start of a new friendship for all of them. The story is told from the points of view of all four female characters Diana (who just moved from the UK to the USA to be with her new husband but is struggling with a lot of things), Cindy (who is figuring out what she wants with her life, including her boring job and controlling boyfriend), Lise (a writing professor who wants to finally sit down and write her own novel), and Sylvia (who is afraid to live her life after her twin sister’s death). All four characters had something completely different to bring to the book, which was great, and really resulted in a well-paced, fascinating and captivating story.

The novel includes several completely different characters, which I think results in the reader being able to find at least one or two characters to whom they can relate in one way or another. The book is quite fast-paced and there is some real character development, and I personally loved joining the four female characters for the ride. Based on the blurb and title, I did expect the book to focus a bit more on the characters’ relationships with their sisters, but even though the book was a bit different from what I expected, it didn’t disappoint me; not at all. Overall, ‘The Sisters Club’ is a captivating and engaging read about the ups and downs of life and being able to share it all with your friends; a read I’d recommend to any women’s fiction fan!
In The Sisters Club by Lauren Baratz-Logsted, four very diverse women form an unlikely friendship that changes their lives. This heartwarming novel is a realistic depiction of their friendship and the various up and downs they encounter as they embark on life-altering events.

Diana Taylor is newly married and a little lonely since leaving Great Britain to move to the US with her husband, Dan. After yet another unsettling conversation with her sister, Artemis, she places an ad in hopes of meeting other women she can connect with. Much to her delight, Lise Barrett, Sylvia Goldsmith and Cindy Cox answer the ad and despite their somewhat awkward introduction, the women soon become close friends. After no-nonsense, outspoken Sylvia challenges the women to do something about the areas of their lives they are dissatisfied with, they eagerly begin working on their goals.

Diana’s weight has always been an issue for her and after Sylvia’s common sense advice, she researches weight-loss options. She quickly decides to undergo gastric bypass surgery while Dan is out of town for a business trip. The only problems? She makes the decision without talking it over with Dan and her recovery is not as easy as she thought it would be. Delighted with the immediate effects of the surgery, Diana is soon obsessed with daily weigh-ins, counting calories and exercise. Although her weight loss is dramatic and she is ecstatic with the results, her self-esteem remains low and she requires enormous amounts of reassurance about her new look. Her relationship with Dan also continues to deteriorate as Diana strikes up a long distance friendship that goes in a questionable direction.

Lise is a college professor who put aside her dream to write a novel after she began her teaching career. She has been involved an in on again/off again relationship with Tony DiCaprio for quite a few years and she does not plan on making any changes to their arrangement. After Sylvia’s blunt advice, she quickly begins working on a novel but finds it difficult to balance writing with her regular job. Lise makes an impulsive decision that shocks her family and jeopardizes her relationship with Tony.

Cindy Cox lives with her boyfriend, Eddie and works at a lingerie store in the mall. Her dream is to have a baby and after hearing Sylvia’s suggestion, she throws out her birth control. She quickly gets pregnant but her life with Eddie is anything but stable and once everyone realize how volatile he is, Sylvia whisks her away to safety. Cindy then must decide whether returning to Eddie is the best choice for her and her unborn child.

Sylvia is gruff and plainspoken but she has a heart of gold. She has never married and she is still mourning the loss of her twin sister, Minnie. She is reluctant to talk about her problems but after a health scare, she forms an unexpectedly close bond with Cindy. Diana’s weight-loss surgery pulls the women together and Sylvia eventually becomes the group’s unofficial mother figure. While Sylvia does not really have any big issues initially, a surprising friendship with Dr. Sunil “Sunny” Gupta leads to the possibility of a romance and an unexpected job opportunity also comes her way.

While there are several secondary story arcs for each of the women, The Sisters Club is easy to follow. The chapters alternate between the four women’s points of view, but these perspective changes are clearly marked at the beginning of each chapter. The characters are beautifully developed with easy to relate to flaws and imperfections. The women’s relationships are realistically portrayed and the dynamics between them ebb and flow throughout the story. Tempers sometimes flare and the various relationships occasionally become tense but everyone easily sets aside their differences to support their friends when needed.

An absolutely delightful story that resonates with genuine emotion, The Sisters Club by Lauren Baratz-Logsted is a heartfelt and engaging novel that I highly recommend to readers of contemporary fiction.
