LOST AND FOUND SISTERS is Jill Shalvis's first Women's Fiction novel. Known for her quirky heroines, Chef Quinn Weller very much fits that bill as well. Despite her fun personality, she's a woman who has down on her luck. When she randomly discovers that she was adopted and that her real mother has left her some things, she doesn't know how to react. At twenty-year years old, her whole life has turned upside down and in an effort to discover who she truly is, she goes to Wildstone, California to find out what really happened.

This book has its ups and downs. Shalvis stays true to her writing style by creating a wonderful community around Quinn. Since this is a Women's Fiction novel, the focus is really going to be on Quinn and her personal journey. Therefore, it was important to really create that connection with the heroine and the reader quickly in the beginning. While I liked Quinn, I don't think she made that big of an impact on me. For me, the beginning was a little too rushed and therefore, I didn't get a chance to know Quinn before she receives the news about her mother. I felt like if more time was spent on that before, that connection would be stronger and readers would feel more empathy towards her character.

Nevertheless, LOST AND FOUND SISTERS is a beautiful read that I think many readers will enjoy. Quinn's personal journey is touching and Jill Shalvis has done a good job in her debut in this new genre.
