I really enjoyed this 6th sister story. I honestly thought at first I would hate it as I was not drawn to Electra, she seemed spoilt and didn't care about anyone. However, things reach a crisis point and Electra finds herself having to face up to things in her life, deal with situations from her past and in many ways find herself and what is important to her. Can she use her voice and public stature to be an advocate for change?
I liked hearing the backstory to Electra's family, there was one scene in particular that I was angry at but will not say which one as it would spoil things.
The growth that Electra had from not only dealing with her own situation but upon hearing her family backstory was so good to see. I loved her empathy and how she wanted to help those who had been there for her. I also liked her reconecting with her sisters.
I have been really enjoying this series and am looking forward to reading the next book.

Tää ei vaan sytyttänyt mua ollenka niin paljon ku edelliset :/ Mutta kyllä täytyy silti viimeinen osa lukea kun se ilmestyy :D
3.5/5. I really struggled with this book to begin with but it certainly improved.
Ik weet gewoon niet hoe ik dit boek moet beoordelen. Het verhaal was interessant en pakkend dus ik bleef lezen. Maar ik heb af en toe écht op mijn tong gebeten. Er kwam veel, heel veel racisme in voor. En ja, dat was de situatie in Cecily's tijd en ook in de huidige tijd helaas. Maar los van dat het als thema voorkwam in het boek, leek de schrijver soms ook racistisch in haar omschrijvingen, misschien onbedoeld door ontwetendheid, maar ik voelde me door het taalgebruik soms écht ongemakkelijk. En Electra werd zo 'klein' en 'dom' en als 'alleen mooi van buiten' omschreven, ze ontdekte haar kracht pas als iemand anders haar 100x bevestigd dat ze goed is zoals ze is. Jammer! Ondanks mijn kritiek kan ik ook niet stoppen! Verwarrende leeservaring deze serie.

A very cleverly written story. I started out already disliking Electra as that's what all the prior books had directed the reader towards feeling. Her sisters mostly described her as difficult and self centred.
However when she started to learn about her past I found that part of the story really gripping and I was desperate to keep reading about Cecily. And in time, I came to understand and like Electra too.
It was perhaps a little too "perfect" how one short stint in rehab managed to completely reform Electra (I'm not sure how realistic that is), but I also get that it was probably necessary to write it this way to get across the main elements of the story.
Another great chapter of the Seven Sisters saga.

I didn’t like this sister, based on my previous experiences of her in past books of this series. I wasn’t looking forward to hearing her side of the story. However, I was definitely wrong.
I recommend this series to readers who like historical fiction about strong women characters. I am excited to read the subsequent books and hope to find out about the missing Merope as well as to understand the mystery of Pa Salt.

Again, another very compelling read, although by now the familiar format of finding your purpose in life AND the love of your life is becoming a bit of a cliche. How many women genuinely have life fall in it’s place like this? However, in it’s defence, there are some very difficult issues and sensitivities in this book and I do think that on the whole they are handled very well. I am addicted to the books and while getting a little weary of the format… on to the next one!
