I rated "The Reel Sisters" 4 out of 4 stars. I loved the story and each of the women are so relatable. Their deep bond is what made the book so appealing. I think each of us could relate to one of the women. While I'm not interested in fly fishing, I did enjoy learning about something new. I think the patience that it takes to learn and practice the sport was reflected throughout the story as a common theme. It was also needed within each their lives and in their friendship with eachother. There was nothing that I didn't like about the book. I would recommend it to women of any age who enjoy character driven stories about friendship and a litte bit of love.

I really liked The Reel Sisters and rated it 4 out of 4. I did, however, find the dialogue unnatural at times, people don't speak like that in the real world. I still rated it so high because of the characters. It may have taken a while to get their full backstories, but each was well written. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes character-led stories and fishing, both learning the sport and those who already love to fish.

I loved the kind of friendship these women shared. I loved their little harmless verbal fights. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Overall, I awarded the book a 4 out of 4 stars. I liked most that it's a fun book that left one in stitches at various times. I liked the fly fishing theme. Prior to reading the book, I knew nothing about fly fishing. Despite describing the sport at almost every turn in the book, the term 'fly fishing was not defined expressly so that the reader would get a handle on what it is they are reading about. I would surely recommend it to a friend; it's fun and interesting. I enjoyed reading it.

I absolutely loved this book and I rated it 4 out of 4 stars! I loved the sense of humor that was used throughout, all of the characters and their solid friendship bond, and how fly fishing terminogy was used to relate to life. The only thing I didn't like was how the story ended. Nonetheless, I would definately recommend this book to anyone over 18.

I really enjoy reading women's fiction. I am not into sports. I found that even when I knew nothing about fly fishing, I still really enjoyed this book. It is a wonderful book about how a shared love of a sport can help women from different backgrounds form strong friendships. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.

I liked the idea of abook were the main topic apart of the relationships and development of the characters is fly fishing.

It is agood turn arround and a fresh image. The genders of the protagonists it is also a very good idea more wen the teme in cuestion it is mostly aproached from the male perspective. The idea of a group of womens enjoing fresh air in a paradisiac locations made a very good contrast for the background.

I am fully interested in picking this one up to read.

I thought the book was amazing, I really loved it. My favorite parts are when they are all laughing and having fun fishing together. The part I disliked the most would have to be the ending, I just think it was very unexpected and I would have liked it to end another way. Overall, I would definitely recommend the book to adults and anyone who like the idea of fly fishing.

It was refreshing to read about healthy female friendships. What I inferred from the book was that we need to get away from our busy lives from time to time and spend a little time with people who genuinely care for us and love us. I felt like the ending was rushed and the dialogues didn't feel authentic sometimes. Overall, it was a good reading experience.

I rated it 3 out of 4 but It was more of a 2.5 for me. It had an engaging story line but I found the writing style frustrating.

I rated it two out of four. The characters were well written, and there's no doubt that there was quite a lot of work invested in their background stories. But there was a ridiculous amount of details that I found unnecessary, and that made it dull. The first 50 pages or so could have been 10 without all those details. Having to read the book in several points of view was slightly confusing as well. In this case, I would have used a third person narrative instead.
