Okay, so I just finished LOST AND FOUND SISTERS by Jill Shalvis and realized it is book one in her new series based in Wildstone which made me laugh -- and of course do a happy dance. Why do you ask? Well, one of the issues that conflict the main characters in LOST AND FOUND SISTERS is the fact that Wildstone is a very small town and they are big city people. And yet Jill Shalvis has brought this place and its people to life. So -- we can't leave yet! Personally, I am on board so bring them on.
Quinn Weller is a chef but candidly in L.A. her role and duties are more that of a sous chef -- not too much leeway for any creative talents -- just taking orders from superiors. In Wildstone at Cathy's Cafรฉ Quinn is challenged to really wear the chef hat. And that's only one of many challenges to face her in LOST AND FOUND SISTERS. Discovering her birth mother's identity and a sister Tilly questions Quinn's identity but also provides some much-needed parts to a life that splintered with her sister Beth's death. Meeting Mick just seemed to cement her resolve that her life back in L.A. was lacking -- big time.
So Quinn is faced with having to make some important and difficult decisions. She is needed in Wildstone even if Tilly is doing her best to keep her at arm's length. But that shouldn't be a surprise. Tilly wasn't aware she had a sister. Her life had revolved around her mother and their lives in Wildstone. Tilly worried that Quinn was going to make her move away and so Tilly did what any teenager would do. She made life difficult for Quinn. Problem was that Quinn was questioning her abilities to do the right thing for Tilly and Tilly was busy keeping tabs on friends that truly needed her.
Definitely at cross purposes these two sisters. But though these observations we come to realize how very alike Quinn and Tilly truly are. Caring, responsible, smart and challenging.
Quinn has some very big decisions to make regarding her future. Is it still back in L.A. or could there be one right there in small town Wildstone with her little sister and the wonderful folks she is meeting. These people are quickly coming to mean a lot to her. They are the lynchpins that were part of her birth mother Caroline and her sister Tilly's life.
On top of all that Mick and Quinn were busy fighting their mutual attraction. Once again it is a case of the geography. Could Mick and Quinn possibly find that relocating to Wildstone could be the best for both of them?
Wow, so many questions and yet you can be sure that Jill Shalvis will provide answers that will please you. Looking for a wonderful summer read -- look no further than LOST AND FOUND SISTERS by Jill Shalvis. It is guaranteed to bring the sunshine into your life. LOST AND FOUND SISTERS is a page turner that you will get lost in. The family is so important and in LOST AND FOUND SISTERS Jill Shalvis reminds us that there are many different forms of family.
