Rise and Shine by Anna QuindlenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Some books are enjoyale enough that it's easy for one to reread. For me, Rise and Shine by Anna Quindlen is one of those books.
Bridget Fitzmaurice is a social worker who lives in her sister Meghan's shadow. Meghan is the popular host of Rise and Shine, "the country’s highest-rated morning talk show," until the Monday morning when she says several forbidden words into an open mic.
Within days, Meghan is off the air, has had her marriage implode, and finds her life falling apart.
Bridget's life gets difficult, too. She becomes pregnant by her much older boyfriend, who doesn't want kids. She also helps Meghan's son, Leo, get a summer job, where he is shot and left paralyzed. The book then ties all these loose ends together in a realistic way.
The characters in Rise and Shine are believable, quirks, warts and all, making it a satisfying read.
If you're looking for a good read, Anna Quindlen's Rise and Shine is one to check out.
