The sister in this book were complicated women. I wonder why women feel the need to stay with people that are "not good" for them. Starting with the mothers. I would have liked to know more about the grandmother but that was not to be in this book. Celeste seemed like she would be the older sister and should have been more together at this point of her life. Julie seems like a child, I would have thought she was in her early 20s the way she acted and I disliked both of their Mom. Their father was a psycho. I read this book in one day and it both made me wish I had a sister and glad that I don't. I can't wait for the next one now that it seems like they have it all together.

The Sunset Sisters by Cecilia Lyra was a fantastic read! It's a tightly woven story of two half sisters who share a father, but have different mothers. Once their grandmother passes away, they are forced to stay at her home on Montauk in order to inherit it. Unfortunately, they've been estranged for about 14-15 years, because one of the sisters blames the other for her mother's death. There's a lot of emotional baggage on both sides, which the readers will read through and sympathize or not sympathize. These are wonderfully detailed written characters and a deep rich plot. I cried at quite a few spots. I didn't want this book to end!!

I would like to thank Cecilia Lyra, Bookouture and Netgalley for the ability to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is the first book I have read by Cecilia Lyra but it will not be the last. It is a great book about two sisters who share a father. They have let issues in their adult lives keep them estranged fourteen years. Their grandmother who they both love leaves her house on Montuck if they follow the stipulations of her will.
that they both stay in the house together for one last. summer.If not the house will be sold and the money give to charity.. Both sisters arrive so h plenty of baggage not the luggage kind. Emotions run high with painful memories. As they deal with their memories they will remember those magical summers from their past. I thank Net Galley for allowing me to read and review this book.

They've been estranged for fourteen years because one blames the other for her mother's death. Each sister has a lot of baggage which readers wade through. It has the full gamut of emotions and it's not to be missed.
