Sister Wife: Summary and Review

Summary
Sister Wife is a novel written by Shelly Hrdlitschka about a small town called Unity. The citizens of Unity believe that the only way into heaven is through a plural marriage.
Celeste has lived in Unity her entire life, but she finds herself questioning her religious beliefs. She has fallen for a boy her own age, something which is forbidden in Unity, and now she must choose between following her religion, and following her her heart.


Review
When I began reading this book, I was rather sceptical about it because it's not the type of book I'm usually drawn to. However, the more I read, the harder it was to put it down. I got really caught up in the characters lives, especially near the end, and I even found myself getting angry at Celeste for some of the choices she was making. Overall, it's a great book, and I would recommend it to any teenage girl.

  2. Deffinetly agree. I was so angry when she didn't marry Jon and decided to just be friends with him. If she had just run away before she got married, it would have been happier. Though not as suspensful.
