Rating Great!
The Hurricane Sisters is a fun book that will make you laugh out loud in some parts, and make you think in others. The book has it all from an eccentric grandmother Maisie, a cheating husband Clayton, Liz a mother, wife and daughter who is dealing with the family, Ashley the struggling artist, Ivy (nickname for IV) the gay son, Mary Beth, Ashley's roommate and partner in crime, and Ashley's politician boyfriend name Parker. The mix of characters makes for a rich story about family, support, and life. The four women learn to except each others faults and strengths to become stronger themselves. Like most of Ms. Frank's books, it is based in Charleston SC and the descriptions and language in the book is typical southern. The scenery is picturesque, and of course there is a hurricane brewing.
