The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo

This is the last book I read about sisters that really blew me away. In this novel, you get to hear from all four of the Sorenson sisters and their parents about what it’s like to be in their big family. It is a huge cast and a challengingly wide scope for any writer to manage, but Lombardo is a master at creating individual portraits of each character. The fun is in watching the sisters grapple with their differences and marvel over their uncanny similarities. One of the best contemporary examinations of sisterhood.
