Sisters takes place over the course of a family road trip from California to Colorado, revealing the complexities of close family relationships through flashbacks into the author's early childhood, which focus on Raina and her sister Amara’s tense relationship. The road trip occurs over a backdrop of their parents’ strained marriage. This book is relatable and easy to absorb, highlighting the struggles of pre-teenhood. The artwork is appealing yet unassuming. While I was able to read it entirely in a 30-minute sitting, I don’t think I would have felt compelled to pick it up again had I stopped half way through. Neither the story nor the artwork did enough to grab me. I would recommend this to children and younger teens who are hesitant to read and are looking for something short and relatable.
