I found The Weird Sisters to be a good, not great, novel about a trio of sisters and how the roles they assumed in childhood, mainly due to birth order, follow them into adulthood. In the book, their roles are often a crutch or excuse used by the sisters to prevent growth, change or embracing the unknown. Likewise, the other siblings and parents (a Shakespeare-spouting father and cancer-stricken mother) use the roles to keep the sisters in stereotypical pigeon holes. I enjoyed reading the sisters' journey of self-discovery and renewal as well as the description of life in a college town. I found the narrator's voice (first person, plural) distracting.
