I have read all the books in this series and it is the best one by far! I loved all of the books, although this one has a fast pace and an unlikely romance that blossoms by the end of the book. It has a sweet romance plot but also deals with issues of work coming between family, friends, and God. The book also focusses on the sisters' relationship with their father and compels the main character, Tori, to search for her father. The book does not focus on Tori finding God as much as the second or first book did for the other sisters, although it still keeps a divine connection, helping the sisters to find their heavenly Father. Overall a very good ending to the Sister-to-Sister series! It would be very interesting to read about some of the sisters' problems with their marriages, kids, faith, and such when they are little older.

So I picked up the "Stuck in the Middle" Book 1 just because it was a free download and my kindle was new and was anxious to try it out. I got hooked, read straight through it and immediately purchased book 2 & 3. These stories were so easy to get into, relate to and the reading was simple and relaxing. There was that moment in each book where the tears stung my eyes. . .really nice stories, well written and uplifting.

I have really enjoyed reading the Sister to Sister series by Virginia Smith. This is mainly because I am part of a three sister family so I could easily relate to what the sisters were going through. This time, it's the youngest of the sisters who gets to share their story. Tori's over fast paced career is none too familiar for her age group. It's amazing how some companies and bosses expect you to work round the clock 24/7 and still think you haven't done enough. Competition is cutthroat in these types of businesses and it's completely possible to overwork yourself to do beyond your best and it's still not enough. I could understand Tori's sisters' concern over her working too much and not being fully compensated in terms of rest. However I personally did not like their interfering with her love life. While things might have worked out for the best, I thought at times they went a bit overboard with constantly calling Ryan for updates. If I was Ryan I would have found it really annoying. As it stands, I personally would never try to set up any of my sisters much less keep contacting their date, because I know that they would kill me if you they found out what I was doing!
I really liked Tori perhaps even more so than her other two sisters. One thing I found quite interesting was Tori's reaction to her sister's hasty marriage. She suspects that the reason why they are getting married very fast is due to since the two are both Christians they are doing this so they can have sex faster. Why this might not be the case between Joan and Ken, I do know for a fact that is the sole reason as to why a good deal of Christians marry after a short dating relationship. Therefore I can see why Tori would be very hesitant about seeing this marriage as being welcoming. The story doesn't have a typically happy ending. The issue with the girls' father, while complete, is never really fully resolved the way they and the reader would have liked. I understood the anger and hurt that took place at the revealing of the truth about the girls' father and I could see why there was much pain on all sides. However this is a more realistic outcome and much more satisfying than a fairy tale ending.
I'm really sad that this series is over. I've grown to love the Sanderson sisters and seeing them change throughout the course of the series. The story is just really fun to read and you just don't want it to end. I know though that whatever Virginia writes next will be just as fabulous to read. If you have sisters or have ever wanted one, you will definitely enjoy reading this series.
