First Impressions
“No two persons ever read the same book” – Edmund Wilson
Every story leaves its unique imprint on the hearts and minds of its readers. That imprint may come from its title, cover art, unique plot, unforgettable characters, or familiarity with the author’s previous work. The story may change your life, emotionally trigger you, or make you regret the hours you spent reading it – hours you’ll never get back!
This month’s book selection is no different. What unique imprint (or impression) has this book made on Kayla and Monica (the 2Sistas)? Let’s find out…
The Best Parts
It’s that part of the story you remember well after you’ve finished it. It’s your personal take-away that makes spending hours of reading worth your time; and promises you’ll still remember the story years from now…or, at least that portion of it.
For Kayla and Monica, the best parts of this month’s book selection were…

It’s those parts of a story where one character straight up disses another in a way you didn’t see coming. It leaves you speechless or evokes a strong feeling that makes you want to climb through the book and slap ’em.
Well, this month’s book had at least two of those character moments that Kayla and Monica can’t wait to share…
Didn’t See THAT Comin’!
It’s those moments in a story that leave you feeling blindsided. Those jaw dropping, eye bulging, WTF kindda moments you never expected to happen. Reading them makes you feel like you just got slapped for no reason by your kind, introverted aunt (on your momma’s side).
