Briscoe brings back Beverly and her sisters Charmaine and Evelyn from her previous novel, Sisters & Lovers. Charmaine is now married to Tyrone. The couple have been married for over a year and everything was going good, until Tyrone's daughter Tiffany come to spend the summer with them. Tiffany's arrival will test Charmaine's new marriage for the first time. Evelyn’s, the oldest sister, marriage is falling apart and she does not know why. Her husband Kevin quit his law firm, starts working at Blockbusters and wants to leave Evelyn and their suburban lifestyle and live an anti-materialistic life. Beverly is engaged to be married to Julian. After calling off two previous weddings, Beverly is convinced that she is ready to take the plunge with Julian. But, when she looks at the state of affairs of her sisters' marriages, Beverly becomes more scared and confused and doubtful if marriage really works and could it work with Julian. Sisters & Husbands is a nice, relaxing summer read. I
highly enjoyed it. The story has a good flow and pacing. There
was a sense of believability with many of the characters.
Briscoe kept the story light and airy. The novel is charming.
