★★★☆☆

Sisters by Daisy Johnson is a fiction book about two sisters moving forward from a terrible event.

I read this on my Kindle on loan from the library. I read this book because it has incredible cover art and because a reviewer described Daisy Johnson as “the demon offspring of Shirley Jackson and Stephen King.”

July and September are sisters born within a year of each other. July is the narrator for most of the book and September is the one who dictates what is going to happen. Where July is timid and quiet, September is in-your-face and unapologetic. The girls move to a family home on the beach with their mother who is debilitatingly depressed after a series of events changed their lives forever.

This is a story about grief and identity, sisterhood, and codependency - it is the type of book where you don’t know what happened in the past till you get to the end. A short, eerie read.

If you liked Sisters, I also recommend White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi, Woman’s World by Graham Rawle, Fever Dream by Samantha Schweblin, and A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay.

Happy reading!
