The Sister

I'm not sure about the rating on this one, I am tempted to go lower, but thinking about the series as a whole, I can't help but keep the rating in the 4-5 stars range. But before I go into it let me just ask this: who edited this book (The Baby too)? I hope they didn't edit The Boyfriend as well because I've been annoyed enough. Every single adverb of time was secluded between commas and it made reading some sentences so freaking annoying. There is such a thing as too many commas!

Now that that's out of the way, I read The Sister way slower than the other books. Part because I started work again, part because I didn't enjoy it as much. I am glad that my worst fears about what 'sister' might mean wasn't the case and I'm so happy that Emir is now El-Mudad, but I just couldn't get so much into it.

Everyone was great as always, I'm happy that Sophie finally came to terms with some things and that she is closer to accept what her life, and herself, had changed. I'm glad Neil is as supportive as always and I'm sure happy El-Mudad is now playing a bigger role in their lives. I've been crazy about him since that first encounter in France.

What this book lacked, from my point of view, was the sex. There were plenty of scenes and at the same time not enough, if that makes any sense. There wasn't as much passion and I almost dreaded reading them. In a way that is understandable, with everything that's going on, there are new rules and they have a way to go until things fully fall in place.

I wasn't crazy about the sisters. Well, Molly was pretty cool, Susan was meh, and we didn't get to see Renee, so as far as that goes, they were okay. I guess. I think I share Neil's feelings on the matter more than Sophie's. And speaking of Sophie, her diabetes was a shock, didn't see it coming, but I was also kinda relieved she couldn't donate her kidney. I know that would have been the right thing to do, and I praise her for really wanting to go through with it, but I can't shake off the 'wouldn't have contacted you otherwise' part. It seems a bit cruel and opportunistic to me.

Overall the sixth part of the series was okay, not the most exciting, but definitely not to be skipped.
