Review of The Reel Sisters
Our journey in life is most blissful when we are in good relationships. Good friends not only support us in times of challenge but also help us in the process of achieving our life's goals. The Real Sisters by Michelle Cummings is a tale of the friendship between five friends who are united by their passion for fly-fishing. They often come together every weekend to have fun and enjoy their adventure of fly-fishing.
Rose is the oldest among them and has more experience in fly-fishing. She has a three-bedroom cabin near a river in Colorado, which she built together with her husband when they just got married, where she houses the other members of the group whenever they visit. She also has a dog named DJ that keeps her company when her friends are not around. Sophie has a farm where she cultivates vegetables and arable crops; Veronica owns her own company, Executive Coaching for Women, where she mentors top-level women to become better leaders; Amanda is married to a military officer with whom she has two children; and Melody is a photographer who they saw drowning in a river when she went out for one of her photography sessions in the woods. They saved her, and she became part of the group.
The story was narrated from the point of view of each of the characters. The book was divided into several sections, where each character was introduced and carefully developed. This mode of narration employed by the author made the book very enjoyable and easy to read as well.
What intrigued me most in the book is how the author, Michelle Cummings, was able to reveal real-life experiences of true friendship. She carefully narrated the various life challenges of each of the characters and how their togetherness and love for fly-fishing were able to strengthen them individually. The author, from her personal life experience, also gave practical skills and techniques required for fly-fishing, as well as the tools and materials needed.
But one thing I didn't like so much about the book is the fact that the narration of each character ends just when it's about to get interesting and immediately switches to another character. This makes reading the book quite less interesting to me. This, however, will not prevent me from giving this book the highest possible rating.
So, I'm giving this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars, as I could not spot any errors in the book.
The author did an amazing job with her narration, literary style, and choice of words. The editors also did an excellent job, and this justifies my rating as the book deserves nothing less.
I recommend this book to all those who love fly-fishing and want to learn new techniques on how to improve on it, as well as those who would love to have the best experience in their friendship.
