Customer Reviews

The Sebastian Sisters.

I liked it. In order to get the full benefit I think you should read them all, starting with Evvie, and going down in order of age of the girls. Meg is actually their mother. The beginning was a little much to take, when they just fell in love so suddenly, and their aunt was so unbelievably strict. It was almost silly how strict she made the circumstances. No, it was silly. But you need to remember that this was a while ago. Towards the end I started to get into it, and above everything, I think she should have written more about what Meg and Nick's life was like before their children, and after they get away from her aunt. Some of the story was a little too unbelievable (Meg was going to be sent to a sanitarium for falling in love). So I think she should have elaborated more, maybe in a new book because she could get some interesting stories developing.
