    at first this book was really tough to get into being that it's written entirely as letters from one writer only. usually during the last quarter of a book i get let down, but with this book i became gripped with the knowledge that this was in fact a true story and the way it was told made it completely genuine causing me to be welled up with tears during the last few pages. although it's a so-so...it was alright by me.

Olivia Hunt is unemployed, living alone, and working on the fourth draft of her suicide note when she gets a phone call that lets her know what real trouble is. Madeleine Hunt is her younger sister, the annoyingly happy one who married the hometown guy while Olivia set out to conquer Hollywood, ha, ha. And Maddie is in trouble. Pulled home for the first time in years, Olivia gets a painful dose of real life as she tries to help her sister, keep her parents from running off the rails, and reconnect with the boyfriend who left without a word but might still be the love of her life. And, of course, the movie she's been trying to put in front of cameras for years heats up just as she leaves town. Racing between Hollywood, hospital rooms, and film sets in Spain, Olivia has to do the impossible at work and at home--and learns that love will let her do no less. By turns charming, heartrending, and hilarious, THE TRUE AND OUTSTANDING ADVENTURES OF THE HUNT SISTERS is a novel for anyone who has ever loved a sister (or a great story).
