About

Sisters are the theme of this book! I've two myself and though we're all very different in many ways we know that there is a shared bond between us. I do mention in the acknowledgements that with a book about three sisters people will assume that this one must be autobiographical. But once again - no!

These sisters, Nessa, Cate and Bree are quite different. Nessa (Cancer) is the domesticated one; Cate (Aries) is the career-oriented one; and Bree (Sagittarius) is the flighty one - even though she's a mechanic.

They all end up with man-trouble in their lives and the book is really about how they see each other through it. It's also about how we ask for advice, love giving advice but still end up doing our own sweet thing! This time the chapter headings relate to astrology since Nessa is a great believer in it.

I'll be a great believer the day mine tells me that I'm about to win the Lotto and I actually do.

Nominated for Romantic Novel of the Year 2003

  • "In her first novel to be published in the U.S., O'Flanagan puts her initially stereotypical characters through so much good conversation-both sharp repartee and introspective soul searching-that they come to life... Overall, O'Flanagan manages to keep wisdom and humor at the forefront and tosses in nice touches like chapter heads keyed into Nessa's interest in astrology" - Publishers Weekly
     
  • "O'Flanagan's delightful U.S. debut chronicles the trials and tribulations of the Driscoll sisters... A fun, snappy tale of three likable sisters and the men who give them so much heartache." - Booklist
