Summary: Twin sisters Vi and Kate have "senses" that allow them to occasionally see the future---which childhood friend's father is cheating, which high school classmate is going to die young, even who they themselves will one day marry.As they grow up through a strange childhood, tumultuous teen years and into adulthood, Vi embraces her extra sense while Kate wishes for nothing more than to be a normal stay at home mom of two.
When Vi predicts a major earthquake on national TV, Kate is forced to come face to face with everything she fears most; her own psychic ability, being tied to her eccentric twin sister and worse...that her sister's terrible prediction may come true.
What I liked: This story was about so much more than ESP, although Kate's ability to sense the future played a major factor in developing her as the main character. Sisterland is about the relationship between sisters that are so incredibly different yet achingly similar. It's about growing up and dealing with life the best you can. And it reminds us that no matter what life throws at us, it all comes back to family.
What drove me nuts: The main character tried so hard to be normal that she ended up a little boring. Until the very end....
Rating: Definitely worth a read!
