Synopsis:

The Kinsey sisters live in an unconventional world. Their parents are former flower-children who still don't believe in rules. Their small, Northern California town is filled with free spirits and damaged souls seeking refuge from the real world. Without the anchor of authority, the three girls are adrift and have only each other to rely on.

Rachel is wild. Asha is lost. Sarah, the good sister, is the glue that holds them together. But the forces of a mysterious fate have taken Sarah's life in a sudden and puzzling accident, sending her already fractured family into a tailspin of grief and confusion. Asha has questions. Rachel has secrets. And Sarah, waking up in the afterlife, must piece together how she got there.

Jamie Kain brings us The Good Sister, a stunning debut young adult novel about love in all its joyful, painful, exhilarating manifestations, and about the ties that bind us together, in life and beyond.

Thoughts:

This book was sent to me to review by the publishers and here it is.
It did take me a long time to finish this book even though it was only 304 pages long but I was glad I didn't give up on it. The ending was in a way perfect because it made everything that had happened and was happening clearer to understand. At least for me.

So there are three sisters. Rachel, Asha, and Sarah but Sarah died. So from the beginning, I thought that one of the other sisters might have killed her because she supposedly fell off a cliff by accident. And the entire family suffers in many different ways because of that. 
This story is basically the sisters trying to deal with the aftermath of losing their older sister. It tells you the story through Rachel and Asha but Sarah also tells her story because of she's in some kind of purgatory.


My favorite character has got to be 

Asha just because she was truly trying to figure out what happened to her sister. When all along Rachel knew everything and just decided to keep quiet. Which was a dick move.
