When I was a teenager, I would rather read a Sisters book than Sweet Valley High any day of the week. I read and re-read them over and over again. I remember being completely bummed when I realized there would be no book #19.

I picked the series up again in the sleep-deprived early days of motherhood when I needed to keep myself awake while trying to rock my baby to sleep (it would not do to drop the baby! :) ) An easy read that I knew parts of by heart seemed like a good way to go.

I still found the books quite enjoyable, and found a little bit of my teenage self again. It's amazing how much has changed since then, though - the old-school phone on the cover, for one.

I found this book at a neighbors garage sale, written in the mid 80's. I went ahead and grabbed it up even though I stopped reading that type of book back in junior high. I read it within 2 hours yesterday and just loved it. I plan on going to Amazon and trying to find the whole series. The characters (3 sisters) are just so cute! It's an easy read and I enjoyed it, and the predicaments they get themselves into are pretty believable and not too outrageous.

Why am I thinking about the time the Wakefield twins were home alone in Sweet Valley High lol? The “Sisters” were both funny and insensitive brats at the same time.

3.5 stars. Read for nostalgia.

Loved this series as a teenager. There was just something about these girls that I enjoyed.

Blurb on back of book 1:
It's the first week of school, and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis have been called away unexpectedly, leaving their three daughters to fend for themselves. Of course, none of them wants to do any chores (why bother?), so they make a pact: every girl for herself.

Nicole and Cindy are too busy seeing their friends and getting back to school to notice that Mollie, just a freshman, is having her problems.

Then, on the night before their parents return, the girls throw a party. Naturally, the house is a shambles by the time it's over. But worse, Mollie has disappeared! Was she just feeling left out? Or did she leave with that older boy she was last seen talking with? What's a sister to do?

Yet another teen series set in sunny southern CA! I actually really liked the characters, 3 sisters. They only lasted 18 books.
