The Christmas Sisters

I read this book for a Christmas readathon, and I didn't expect much because I do not usually like holiday books. I am not a big fan of Hallmark movies and the like, so I had low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised, though. This book about three sisters who come together at Christmas time is actually quite good. Each sister is dealing with her own issues. They end up helping each other through their situations and healing some old family wounds in the process.

The book is set in Scotland, which is such a picturesque Christmas backdrop to the story. The small village setting is perfect for a holiday read. There are also scenes in New York City and references to the mountains in Washington State. Overall, the setting was a nice complement to the story line.

I found the female characters likable and relatable. They had enough layers to their personalities to keep me interested in their story arches. The male characters were a little one-dimensional, but I didn't mind it. It was just a nice, pleasant read for the holiday season.
