From the New York Times bestselling author of California Girls comes an all new original Blackberry Island novel told with Susan Mallery’s trademark humor and charm. Sisters by Choice is a heartfelt tale of love, family and the friendships that see us through.
Cousins by chance, sisters by choice…
After her cat toy empire goes up in flames, Sophie Lane returns to Blackberry Island, determined to rebuild. Until small-town life reveals a big problem: she can’t grow unless she learns to let go. If Sophie relaxes her grip even a little, she might lose everything. Or she might finally be free to reach for the happiness and love that have eluded her for so long.
Kristine has become defined by her relationship to others. She’s a wife, a mom. As much as she adores her husband and sons, she wants something for herself–a sweet little bakery just off the waterfront. She knew changing the rules wouldn’t be easy, but she never imagined she might have to choose between her marriage and her dreams.
Like the mainland on the horizon, Heather’s goals seem beyond her grasp. Every time she manages to save for college, her mother has another crisis. Can she break free, or will she be trapped in this tiny life forever?

Summary
Sisters by Choice by Susan Mallery is a great escape. Each of the women has their own struggles and you feel like they are women you would be friends with. And it is also so easy to see what they should do from the outside looking in.
Sophie was the workaholic that had built her own empire, watched it go up in flames and then is trying to rebuild it. There were sooo many great supporting characters for her story; from the warehouse manager, the marketing director and her yogo instructer non boyfriend. I thoroughly enjoyed his character and how he had the confidence to go head to head with her and no when to pull back.
Kristine was that perfect stay at home mom that felt guilty for wanting more. I could not help but cheer for her and want her to get her dream. There were some great scenes between her and her boys that were beautifully written to show how special their bond was.
Heather, bless her heart. You just wanted to shake her and tell her to pack her bags and leave.
I don’t consider myself a fan of women’s fiction; but if this is women’s fiction, I am in.
