Despite their different home environments, with Desiree enjoying Mel’s wealth, Lena leads a more sheltered existence, focusing on her studies. Despite the animosity between their parents, Lena and Desiree were ‘like sisters’. After their ‘messy’ separation he went on to marry and have a child with a former close friend of her mother. Her mother is dead, and Mel, her father, a big shot music producer with a don’t-mess-with-me reputation, has shown little interest in Lena. After her grandmother passes away she inherits her house in the Bronx, which she now shares with her aunt. Our main character is Lena Scott, a graduate student at Columbia who is in her late twenties. As per usual, she gives a brilliant performance which no doubt enhanced my reading/listening experience with Like a Sister. I won’t lie, the main reason why I picked this one up was because I came across the audiobook version while perusing Bahni Turpin’s audios.
Solid pacing, a likeable and engaging narrator, plenty of compelling dialogues, and a well-rendered suspenseful atmosphere.
Like a Sister is an engrossing novel that will definitely appeal to fans of Rachel Howzell Hall.
