Sisters Like Us (Mischief Bay Series #4)

by Susan Mallery Narrated by Tanya Eby

Overview

The grass is always greener on your sister's side of the fence...

Divorce left Harper Szymanski with a name no one can spell, a house she can't afford and a teenage daughter who's pulling away. With her fledgling virtual-assistant business, she's scrambling to maintain her overbearing mother's ridiculous Susie Homemaker standards and still pay the bills, thanks to clients like Lucas, the annoying playboy cop who claims he hangs around for Harper's fresh-baked cookies.

Spending half her life in school hasn't prepared Dr. Stacey Bloom for her most daunting challenge-motherhood. She didn't inherit the nurturing gene like Harper and is in deep denial that a baby is coming. Worse, her mother will be horrified to learn that Stacey's husband plans to be a stay-at-home dad...assuming Stacey can first find the courage to tell Mom she's already six months pregnant.

Separately they may be a mess, but together Harper and Stacey can survive anything-their indomitable mother, overwhelming maternity stores and ex's weddings. Sisters Like Us is a delightful look at sisters, mothers and daughters in today's fast-paced world, told with Susan Mallery's trademark warmth and humor.

Don't miss The Summer Getaway by Susan Mallery where one woman discovers the beauty in chaos in a poignant and heartwarming story about the threads that hold family together.

Editorial Reviews

FEBRUARY 2018 - AudioFile

Narrator Tanya Eby helps weave the story of two sisters who are at very different stages of their lives. Divorced Harper is struggling with her new business as a virtual assistant. Her sister, Stacey, is a brilliant scientist who is pregnant with her first child. Eby gives a unique voice to each of the characters: the competent Lucas, one of Harper’s clients; the strident Harper and her timid teenage daughter; and both sisters’ overbearing mother. Listeners will become caught up with Stacey and her worries about her lack of maternal instincts while chuckling at her intellectual approach to motherhood. Eby’s narration will also have listeners rooting for Lucas and Harper. This is a thoroughly appealing audio experience. S.B. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
