Sister Wife

Sister Wife

Sister wife is about 3 narrators, Celeste (mostly about her), Taviana, and Nanette. They are both in a community that practices polygamy. Celeste and Taviana question this "practice", while Nanette can't wait to be assigned to a husband.


This story was shocking. I have heard about such practices, but this book lierally took me by surprise. It's amazing how individuality is punished, and how the girls are manipulated and brainwashed into that situation. The story is well written, and the tone is well balanced throughout the story.

I think the ending was fair, and realistic in the fact that the character's (Celeste and Taviana) strive to go on with life. It's really compelling.
