The story has a good premise but is miserable to read. It’s very wordy. I usually finish a book in - few days. This took over 2 weeks because I couldn’t make myself finish it. It has a pleasant story but is a wordy and tedious. I wouldn’t read it again.

There is a theme this summer of sisterhood and summer books. The struggles internal and external, strong character development, and gripping plot are what kept me up all night to finish this story.

A fun and happy read! I fell in love with the characters, love how the seem so real .

This is a story of two sisters who seem totally different yet underneath they are seeking the same thing... Real love. Both seem to handle circumstances in different ways, one keeping everything under control and the other fly by the seat of her pants. They are trying to undo the curse of being unlucky in love and lasting relationships, Given that their mother and grandmother abandoned them. They both have so much left to give and trying to find the right person to give it to you. It’s such a wonderful story. I related to sunshine in so many different ways. I found myself rooting for her to succeed. Also in the fact that she inadvertently hurt people by following her heart. She was trying so hard to change to do things in the right way. You will love the story, you will fall in love with all the characters especially Bianca. Read it this summer, you won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful book, that I highly recommend. Family dynamics, twin sisters, love, and humor always make for a good summertime read. Throughly enjoyed!

The Summer of Sunshine and Margot was just like Susan Mallery! Fun, light, and a great summer read. Although I do think Bianca’s name should have been in the title because she makes the book! She is a hoot! I am an only child and the relationship between Sunshine and Margot made me wish I had a sister I could lean on and have fun with! This is a great summer/beach read! Susan never disappoints!

Enjoyed every minute of this new novel and can only hope we will see both Sunshine and Margot again in a future book!!

The Summer of Margot and Sunshine is a great summer read to pass the time on a sunny beach day or a rainy inside day. It follows twins Margot and Sunshine through their daily lives and interests in men that are “off-limits” in their minds. I very much enjoyed Bianca also.

Susan Mallory has outdone herself with this book. Once again characters are in-depth and given unique personalities. Also the story is enhanced greatly with knowledge given regarding the monastery and its mysteries. Could not quit reading ! Ncbred

This beautiful story of two very different sisters hooked me from page one. Sunshine and Margot were very engaging characters were honestly trying to break out of old and destructive habits. Sunshine wants to be more than her physical appearance, while Margot has resigned herself to her job being her focus. While I was intrigued by Margot and her job as an etiquette coach, Sunshine is the sister I enjoyed the most. Bianca’s storyline was a bit of a disappointment at the conclusion; I think I was expecting a reason for the was she behaved. Connor was a delight and his father Declan was very yummy. I’m still processing how I feel about Alec, though. I finished this book within a few hours of starting it, so it definitely held my attention. This book was more women’s fiction than straight contemporary romance, which is my go-to genre of choice. Other than one particular sex scene, which I felt took me away from the relationship between the two characters, this was a solid read, enjoyable read.
