After having a very hectic day last week, I decided to spend my lunchtime cruising the Warwick Library and just chilling out with my old friends - Books of course!
After giving that True Blue Crap the "thumbsdown" and chucked it back into the cupboard to find its way into the black hole, I needed to be reminded that there are plenty of writers out there who dont write crap just to sell a book!
And I found one!
The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters is written by Elisabeth Robinson and is written in the form of correspondence and emails. I have to say that I am enjoying it immensely!!
The review from www.readinggroupguides.com says it all:-
Olivia Hunt is unemployed, living alone, and working on the fourth draft of her suicide note when she gets a phone call that lets her know what real trouble is. Madeleine Hunt is her younger sister, the annoyingly happy one who married the hometown guy while Olivia set out to conquer Hollywood, ha, ha. And Maddie is in trouble.

Olivia Hunt is unemployed, living alone, and working on the fourth draft of her suicide note when she gets a phone call that lets her know what real trouble is. Madeleine Hunt is her younger sister, the annoyingly happy one who married the hometown guy while Olivia set out to conquer Hollywood, ha, ha. And Maddie is in trouble.
Pulled home for the first time in years, Olivia gets a painful dose of real life as she tries to help her sister, keep her parents from running off the rails, and reconnect with the boyfriend who left without a word but might still be the love of her life. And, of course, the movie she's been trying to put in front of cameras for years heats up just as she leaves town.
Racing between Hollywood, hospital rooms, and film sets in Spain, Olivia has to do the impossible at work and at home--and learns that love will let her do no less. By turns charming, heartrending, and hilarious, The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters is a novel for anyone who has ever loved a sister (or a great story).
Definitely worth a read if you see it!
