I loved Smile so much a few weeks ago that I rushed to pick up Sisters from the library, too; sadly, though, this one was pretty disappointing in comparison. It's not a bad read by any means (as you can see, I still gave it a pretty neutral rating), but I feel that its storyline is extremely weak compared to its predecessor.

To be fair, maybe it's one of those "it's the reader, not the book" moments happening here because I don't have siblings and can't relate to the struggles of sisterhood — but to be fair, books like this would have only reinforced how much I loved being an only child, had I read this as a kid. These two are so awful to each other and the only resolution found at the ending is minor and bittersweet. I didn't enjoy reading about them being at each other's throats the entire time and found the whole story to be pretty bland. A little too "slice of life" for me, I suppose.
