Rise and Shine

Finished listening to Rise and Shine by Anna Quindlen. I have read other books by this same author and I enjoy the author, but I didn't really enjoy this book as much as I was anticipating I would. It wasn't terrible by any means but there was no real substance to it. The story never really went anywhere and then went to four years later in the last 15 pages to sum it all up.

I did enjoy that the main character was a social worker. I related to her work and found just listening to her work stories kept my attention. I also enjoyed that it took place in New York. The characters were interesting as they always are in Quindlen's books, but I just never really got into the book.

It tells the story of two sisters who lost their parents at a young age. One of the sisters is a world famous New York tv personality and the other is a social worker. The sister in tv says something on air she should not have and the book explores the way it changes the life of the family. I guess I didn't quite get what I expected to based on the summary. It was a good read, just not a great read and took some time to get into.
