Grasp Stuck In The Middle (Sister-to-Sister #1) Rendered By Virginia Smith Classified In Brochure

free to my Kindle Christian novel that had a pretty good theme middle sister lives at home, with her mother and grandmother young dateable MD moves in next door and Joan likes him.
A lot of misunderstandings ensue but as always, a happy ending! This was a short and sweet book, I felt like it didn't come to a good close, Joni is the middle daughter with separation issues, Her mom made her dad leave when she was young, and now she lives with her grandma who needs to be in a home, but won't let that happen.
A handsome doctor moves next door and he likes her, but sees that she is maybe not what he is looking for, Joni discovers that, even though she is Christian, she doesn't know Christ, After a missionary comes and talks to their church she realizes that she needs to gain her own testimony, This shakes Joni up a bit and freaks her sisters out, but ultimately leads to her catching the guy next door, I liked the fact that she was in search of herself and what she believes and that is what brought a great guy into her life.
This book was for book club and aboutpgs in I realized it was not for me, but I finished it anyway, The pace was very slow and and the story was, honestly, boring, I

kept thinking why is this even a book, It was basically plotless and pointless, and mostly just filler in order to make the book longer for absolutely no reason, Most of the characters were unlikeable except for cookie cutter Ken, and the grandmother, especially pity party Joan, Some of the religious aspect was a bit odd and judgmental, but that didnt bother me nearly as bad as the weak writing and nonexistent plot.
Needless to say, not a fan of this book, I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what I think of this book, The writing was solid, except sometimes the dialogue, especially between the sisters, felt too formal and stiff, The story was quite realistic, but perhaps a touch dull because of that, I liked the way the spiritual issues were handled, but since the heroine was very new to living her faith the story was pretty simplistic, Yet again it felt totally real often when we begin to take God seriously it happens in baby steps, as it did here, I liked that the romance was pretty much on the back burner, too, I thought the senior center was overly perfect, So I guess I'll give it three, because I did enjoy it and I'd read more about these sisters, But it didn't sweep me off my feet and at times it felt more like a oversimplified YA story, Probably.Normallyfrom me means, "Wow, This is among the best books I've read, " But that's not necessarily true for this book, Theactually mean, "Wow, this is the best book I could have read right now, " The writing was nothing special, The plot was pretty mundane, But what I loved about this book is that it did not shy away from the Christian principles it was clearly trying to get across, In the end, the book was about how God affects our daily lives, and I think that's the most important way He can make an appearance.
Is He capable of the grand miracles we read about in the Scriptures Of course, But He is also capable of making my life better through simple means, The book ends with the following, "But even if she couldn't remember the exact words, deep in her heart she clung to the promise of the verse.
Her life was no longer stuck, Her Father had plans for her, " Read my full review here: sitelink gl/vNM Got this book for free from Amazon, and I liked it! It's a Christian story that I found to be what I need : Ah.
I didn't read what this was about and it turned out to be a God finding story, which I wouldn't mind but I didn't like the way the author made it out that if you give your life to God, then everything will be happy ever after.
Gag. This is a nice safe romantic story with a firm trench in christian faith as a background, Joan Sanderson is manager for Abernathy Sales and Rental and isyears old, She's one of the few remaining students out ofwho graduated from Danville HS, Kentucky, and has stayed in Danville, She has an English degree, but she's never used it, hoping that one day she can step away from her job and actually do something with her life.
Joan has always been the quiet one of the three sisters, whereas the oldest and youngest were more outgoing like their mother, She dated Roger the Rat foryears, before he married someone from his office, and is now moving away, Joan seemingly blames her mother for her divorce from her father, Later, revelations are told that change her mind,

Her other sisters Allie, is pregnant with their first child, and married to adispatcher Eric, Allie is a state employee for social services, and also has a background in psychology, The youngest sister, Tori, has her own apartment in Lexington, KY, and works as a marketing analyst making double the money that Joan makes,

Ken Fletcher is a doctor who ends up renting the house next door to Joan, her mother, and grandmother, He also has a dog named Trigger yes, after Roy Rogers horse! He also ends up being Joan's love interest,

Her Grandmother, is an obsessivecompulsive personality who alphabetized Joans mothers underwear drawer including bras, underwear, and socks, She has the funny moments in the story, as well as the sad ones in that it shows how emotionally draining getting older really is,

This book actually focuses on family dynamics as well as faith, This book doesn't have a really provoking storyline, but it's funny and sort of heartwarming, I downloaded this for free for my ereader,

Joan is the middle child, While Allie is married about about to have a baby, little sister Tori is focused on her career, Joan just got out of a messy relationship, and still lives at home with her mother and grandmother, Then a sexy doctor moves in next door, causing competition for Tori and Joan, until Tori decides Ken's way too religious for her tastes,

Despite the fact that this book is a Christian book, it read heavily as chicklit, especially for the first half, I hate chicklit books, mostly because they're too fluffy for my taste, Throughout this book, I kept wondering what the point was, There doesn't seem to be much of a plot and not a lot happens, No action to speak of, Joan throws tantrums about the possibility of her grandmother moving into an assisted living facility, competes with Tori over the same guy by following Allie's flirting advice and buying expensive clothes, and just comes across as completely clueless.
I had to keep reminding myself that she's twentyfive, because she acts like a sixteenyearold, After realizing that religion is very important to Ken, she decides it's important to her, too, Something good does come out of this when Joan decides to create a Christian singles group and help clean up the community,

Other reviewers complained that this book was too preachy, but that aspect didn't really bother me, I've read books that have been much preachier, What bothered me was Joan's constant 'poor me' attitude, her refusal to act her age, and the lack of a plot, When I got to the end of the book, I couldn't believe it was the end, because nothing actually seemed to happen, For the most part, a huge waste of time, Joan Sanderson is the middle daughter, She works in a furniture store and lives at home with her mother and grandmother, She wishes she could move away but because of her grandmother's health issues she'd decided to move back home to help,
Her father left many years ago and Joan still misses him, She holds a grudge against her mother for letting him go,

Ken Fletcher is starting a new practice and his sister decided he needed a dog, which he named Trigger, Thanks to the mutt he meets Joan and strikes up a conversation,
Joan's grandmother invites him to dinner and when Joan's younger sister meets him, she decides she may want him for herself, Some sibling rivalry ensues. Joan knows her younger sister is beautiful and successful, She is a marketing analyst,
Joan starts doubting herself, How can she compete with her baby sister
We also meet Allie who is Joan's older sister, She is pregnant and happily married, Probably my favorite character. She is funny and inventive,
This is a Christian Lit,

cross posted at my blog sitelink blogspot I feel like I got cut off short in the end, but for the most part this was a solid read,
The characters were easy to relate to, and structured quite well,
I look forward to reading more from this author, who was new to me,

Recommend Yes, for a fast read, I just skipped through some reviews and saw that there were some negative ones because of the Christian content, Well I have to say that I completely loved this book, There was a lot of Christian aspects but it was not a lot of quotes or pushing of the bible but you just know that their religion played a huge part in their lives.


Joan is just the average middle sister who has a beautiful sister and another sister that is married to a wonderful man and expecting her first baby.
All the while Joan still lives at home with her mother and grandmother, trying to do all that she can do to take care of her grandmother.


I have to admit that I got this book for free from Amazon but I have already purchased the second book in this series, Age before Beauty SistertoSister, Book, and I can not wait to start reading it so that I can see what else happens in the lives of this great close knit family.
sitelink For a Christian romance it was pretty good but with the religion element I just wanted to send in the missionaries a few times and set them straight.
I don't know if I will seek out the second book but this was worth my time, From Book: Joan Sanderson's life is stuck, Her older sister, Allie, is starting a family and her younger sister, Tori, has a budding career, Meanwhile, Joan is living at home with Mom and looking after her aging grandmother, Not exactly a recipe for excitement, That is, until a hunky young doctor moves in next door, Suddenly Joan has a goalto get a date, But it won't be easy, Pretty Tori flirts relentlessly with him and Joan is sure that she can't compete, But with a little help from God, Allie, and an enormous mutt with bad manners, maybe Joan can find her way out of this rut,
Bookof the SistertoSister series, Stuck in the Middle combines budding romance, spiritual searching, and a healthy dose of sibling rivalry, .
