But who has time, energy and the cash to do all the lovely, individual things for each of the Reel Sisters?! Maybe this reflects more on me but in our current economic climate I found it difficult to relate to her. Maybe it means that deep down I wish I had a Rose in my life?
I’ll be fascinated to see if my opinion changes throughout my reading.
What do you think?

I feel like we all know someone like that. I mean, don't they ever sleep? I know I need some couch time for myself after a long day at work!

I found Veronica's story the least relatable. She just had everything too perfect, including a husband who worshipped her! (I'm just envious, I guess!)

Overall, I liked all of them. However, I thought Melody was odd, and sometimes, I was put off by Sophie’s negative attitude.

Wow! What great insightsJeyasivananth wrote: ↑12 Feb 2018, 17:37 My favorite character would be Melody because i found her journey to be more complete and fulfilling than the others. Melody comes across as a quintessential millennial , thrust with parental expectation that leaves her estranged with them. With no financial worries , being a gifted prodigy things must have come easily to her ; not to mention a chalked out life by her parents for her to join Julliard. Quite understandably this tailored life bores her , building frustration in her mind, egging her to rebel against her parents choices for her. As a resentment and act of rebellion she renounces music and chooses photography. As she herself confesses photography allows her to have greater control over her life. She can delete the pictures . She is a self confessed introvert who prefers the anonymity of the online interaction to the real life human overtures ( much like a millennial) . With the help of Rose she discovers to be aware and adapt ; to make connections and release . She values having a connection with someone other than herself and gains to confidence to make her own choices with guilt ; pave a unique path doing all that she loves mixing music and photography . She in my opinion is the most well developed round character in the book. The character i didnt enjoy much was Veronica as I felt Cummings didn't show all her facets leaving her rather flat and boring .

Haha, love your honesty! I tend to like the underdog too, compared those with perfect livesMiriam Molina wrote: ↑16 Feb 2018, 23:26 I liked Amanda the most. Her life story was the most touching, and she was the underdog. What can I say? I always root for the underdog.

I appreciate the realness of your comments. Even though we may like them there can certainly be characteristics or personality foibles and flaws that can be annoying. It’s true for life, too!Yolimari wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 23:42 My favorite was Rose because she is wise, caring, and witty. She shares her cabin with her friends and makes them quilts. She listens to them and makes witty remarks. Seemed to me she was a role model.
