I wish that I loved this book, the cover and the description are so good! Unfortunately, this book fell flat for me. I had a hard time keeping the multiple points of views separate as it felt like there was no end to each chapter. Thank you for the chance to read, and again, I love the cover!

This is a wonderfully told tale of three sisters hunkering doen awaiting a storm.

What follows is their story of family and sisterly bonding. Each sister giving their owm account of struggles in life.

I love this book.. it is beautifully written and filled with drama. It is one of those reads that makes you feel happy to be alive..

Beautiful book cover, just looking at it would make me want to read the book! 3 sisters and a hurricane. Love the characters and their relationships. I really cared about all of them.

This book was a struggle for me. I really thought after reading the synopsis it was going to be so good, but it was a bit too chaotic for me.

This novel had the potential to be a thought-provoking read, but its lack of proper formatting made it difficult to navigate. The absence of clear breaks between paragraphs and multiple points of view created confusion, making it challenging to distinguish between different characters' perspectives. Each chapter alternates between the sisters and their acquaintances, which, while intriguing, becomes repetitive.

2.5/5.

This story follows three sisters who are all staying in a beach house together, waiting for an impending hurricane. All three sisters are going through major life issues right now, and they are leaning on each other to help them through. The story was a little predictable, but I still thought the relationship between the sisters was sweet. A like, not a love for me.

*The Sisters of Blue Mountain Beach* is a beautifully written novel that will connect with readers like me who like stories focused on characters with a bit of mystery. Kalan Chapman Lloyd has created a touching story that celebrates the strong bond of sisterhood and the importance of being true to oneself. This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys stories about family, forgiveness, and the connections that bring us together. It reminded me of "Sisters" by Danielle Steele which I read as a young teenager. It was overall a good read.

While this book had a great premise, it just didn't provide me with what I was looking for with a beach read.

Thank you, NetGalley for sharing a copy of this e-book.
I first want to start by saying the more I read the more I liked of this novel The author did a phenomenal job in developing the three main characters as well as the supporting characters. There was a definite plot twist that surprised me! The writing was descriptive, with lots of details (Sometimes too many details!). Just as an aside, I did note many editorial errors.
It was a great beach read!

I was really excited to read this book based on the description. Once I started reading it, it was hard to stay interested. It was all over the place. I forced myself to finish reading it since it was an ARC book.

Given the description of the book, I thought it would be more about them being lost and the aftermath of the hurricane, maybe even some mystery. Were they lost at sea, amnesia, hurt somewhere under some rubble? In its entirety there were only a few pages attributed to the hurricane and aftermath. It was more about snippets of their lives before they came to the beach house and each ‘sisters’ day on repeat, ie. drinking, running, shopping. It was their lives on repeat.

I was hoping it would get more interesting as I continued reading but it was really hard to stay focused

I thought this story was a decent beach read. I did not enjoy the swearing and the body shaming. I also felt like it took a long time for the plot to develop.

This one was a hard one to finish…. I just felt like nothing was happening!!!! It dragged on and the characters were underdeveloped and immature. Their relationships felt childish and just silly. I couldn’t get myself to really care for the characters or wanting them to survive

Well, I'm not sure if I'm not the proper audience for this book, but this one really didn't work with me.
The plot was interesting since I usually enjoy reading about more grown-up characters discussing their lives and struggles or traumas, and I di think this book started out decent enough.
But after only a few chapters these characters annoyed me. They were clearly not acting their age and their 'struggles' sounded futile and petty, sometimes.
This author's writing was OK, I'd say. But I got bored and annoyed with the characters, which was unfortunate.

I thought this would be a light summer read but was mistaken. The story was a bit choppy switching from one of the three "sisters'" pov but the writing was done well. I found it to be a little dated or too old for the millennial I am, themes of eating disorders, cheating husbands, not a trace of any poc, I would likely recommend this to someone who is already a grandmother. The end left me questioning things. I wanted more of Mary Fran and Travis's story and a bit more details between when the women were young and right at the moment.

Thank you @netgalley and Rebelle Press for the opportunity to read and review this e-ARC.

This book started out super choppy and I had an incredibly hard time getting into it. I actually thought about doing my first DNF in the first 2% because nothing was grabbing my attention. The writing simply seemed to not flow.

Though this book wasn’t for me, I’m interested to see how the final copies were produced. If it had a better flow and the interviews were written in a different way (not thrown in where halfway through reading them you FINALLY realized what the blurbs were), I could see that it could have potential. There was definitely a twist or two about 75% in that definitely helped pick up the enjoyment of the book.

Didn't finish this book. Wasn't thrilled with the style of the run on, too long sentences.
Wasn't able to get up the caring of each of the characters even after being half way through. The cover of the book gave the impression of younger women, lolling near a beach, but the descriptions gave me a picture of much older women - so had trouble reconciling all the pieces.

This was a beautiful exploration of sisterhood. The thrilling element was perfectly executed, and the writing flowed so well. I really enjoyed the gripping plot. You uncover so much as you go. I found myself relating to something from each one of the sisters.

“The Sisters of Blue Mountain Beach” by Kalan Chapman Lloyd is a heartfelt tale of friendship and resilience. Set in Florida, it follows three women as they face personal challenges and an approaching hurricane. Lloyd’s writing vividly captures the Gulf’s beauty and the characters’ emotional journeys. The story celebrates the strength of bonds formed by choice, offering a moving reflection on hope and togetherness.

I loved the unbreakable bonds between chosen family. This book is a testament to the idea that family isn't always defined by blood. Must read!!

I wanted to love this book. The summary, the title, the cover all had me engaged. The story itself was so hard for me. I wanted to learn more so I kept reading . But the writing just confused me. Especially the lack of chapters. I’m not sure if that was because it’s an ARC or done purposefully. So much potential with the book but it was such a hard read for me.

I would love to give honest feedback but it was a DNF for me. I couldn’t get past the writing to finish. It was more wordy than a Stephen King novel.
