The Reel Sisters by Michelle Cummings is a wonderful story that talks about a group of women who became very close to each other through their shared love of fly-fishing, which also led to them forming a strong and unbreakable bond of friendship.

This is a fictional novel that focuses on these women and fly-fishing. These two aspects of the book led to various incidents. It showed how love can be formed from a singular event or activity; even through hard times, these women loved and cherished each other. Starting off, the women were just four: Rose, Veronica, Sophie, and Amanda. Melody was the last to join the group, and how did she get to join the group? Read this novel to get more details.

Before reading this book, I didn't have the slightest idea of what fly-fishing was about. Yes, it had “fishing” at the end, which of course meant that it involved fishing, but I didn't really know what it entailed. Reading this book, I got to know what it was really about. Aside from the fact that I learned something surprisingly new, I really liked how each character was unique in its own way. I got to know about the lives each of the women had, which led them to each other and a shared love for fly-fishing. Sophie was in the greenhouse and nursery business, Veronica was the CEO of a company she owned called Executive Coaching for Women, and so on. I loved how, with each of these strong female characters having their story, the author was able to make fly-fishing the center of the whole story and the link between the women. The story was told from the perspective of each of the women, which even made reading the novel more understandable for the readers, and it did not disbalance the link between each event in the story. For many who would read this book, like me, their favorite character would be Rose. She showed many characteristics that could be emulated by many. She was wise, and most importantly for me, she was able to share. Not only that, but she owned the cabin where the women stayed, but that didn't make her proud or stingy; she opened it for all of them to stay in together, like it was collectively theirs.

The thing I disliked about this book was the way it ended. I had my hopes high and expected more. Yes, there's a lesson to be learned from it, but I still felt it could have had a better ending; besides that, the book was a wonderful read.

I am rating this book four out of five stars because of my dislike of the book as stated above. I did not find any grammatical or spelling errors, which means it was exceptionally well-edited. Furthermore, I recommend this book to women who'd love to know what true sisterhood is all about.

How does the sport of fly-fishing increase the bond between people? I'd love to see how this sport created the friendship talked about in this book. Interesting review.

The Reel Sisters by Michelle Cummings is a book that portrayed the lives of some women, discussing their highs and lows. Each of them had unique attributes and were all joined together by fly fishing.

I'm sure that the women in this book will be unique and distinct, and also the type that will teach valuable lessons. I'm looking forward to reading this book.

The Reel Sisters by Michelle Cummings is one that shows you what friendship is truly about. It involves loving one another with all of thine heart and not hiding things from each other like we do in the present day.

In our present day, what do we base friendship on? Many are friends with people just because of money, some because they have something planned, either to gain or to cause harm to the person but this book tells you what it's really about.

Do you have that certain friend or group of friends that are so special to you and that you love and then a new friend comes to join the group and you still maintain the flow of the love you guys have for each other without segregation? That's how this book is.

The praise for the author's storytelling abilities is noteworthy. The creation of the characters is something that I find intriguing. The mention of the editing being well done is a good sign for the book's quality.
