The Griffin Sisters and the sisterhood wounds.

This is a profound exploration of the intricate tapestry of family bonds, the deep and unbreakable ties of sisterhood, and the haunting shadows of unhealed trauma that linger in the corners of our hearts.I love Jennifer Weiner’s work, so when I started this book, I was almost certain I would adore it. If I’m honest, while I do like the book, it hasn’t quite reached the high level of admiration I had anticipated. The author is brilliant on describing people emotions. The story revolves around the Griffin sisters, Cassie and Zoe Grossberg, who form a band and rise to fame. However, just when their popularity peaks, they mysteriously disband without any explanation, leaving their fans in suspense and disappointment. In the story, Zoe Child, a musician herself, provides another perspective as she begins to inquire about the past, demanding answers that hint at deeper complexities. The narrative is set against the vibrant backdrop of the 1980s, a decade I truly enjoy for its distinct cultural flair. The intricate relationships woven throughout the tale not only add depth to the plot but also invite readers to reflect on the connections between the characters, making the overall experience rich and engaging. One aspect of the book that I found challenging was the immense potential surrounding the sisters’ relationship, which is intertwined with music as a central theme. However, the frequent switching between points of view and the time jumps made the reading experience feel somewhat overwhelming. Additionally, I was disappointed by how often the narrative emphasized issues like jealousy and fatphobia, as these themes were repeated throughout the story, making it uncomfortable to engage with at times. I found these elements to be somewhat problematic. Cassie, as a character, was not enjoyable for me. The story itself felt like it went on for too long, and at times, it started to feel dragged out. Despite the issues mentioned, I maintain that it is a good book that many people will enjoy reading. The boom was set to be released on April 8 of 2025. So if you think it can be your cuppa of tea go to your local shop to get it.
