Write My Name Across the Sky is an intimate portrait of three women, each at a life-changing crossroad—a floundering business, a disappointing musical career, and the prospect of jail. Samantha, Willow, and Gloria are extraordinary characters, with so many layers colored by regret and loss, hope and passion. From the first page, I was drawn into all of their fascinating stories, feeling so many emotions as I got to know them, their dreams, their flaws, and their talents. These are three women wh...
When I saw that Barbara O’Neal had a new book coming out, I immediately requested to read it. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. Her characters are engrossing and so real. The book is about 2 sisters, Sam (Samantha) and Willow and their aunt, who for the most part raised them, Gloria. The story takes place with alternating points of view and each of these interesting women tell their side of their story. Willow is a musician who has come home to Manhattan, to the apartment where
4.5This is the first book by this author that I’ve read and I will be seeking out more! I enjoyed being in the character’s lives. The sisters relationship reminds me a bit of me and my sister because our personalities are so different and we fight a lot. This book helped me think about how things have been from her perspective. This was a comforting read for me. Thank you to Barbara O’Neal, Lake Union Publishing, and Net Galley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Barbara O'Neil excels at creating larger-than-life characters in compelling situations and yet somehow making them authentic and relatable. A great sisters' story, evocatively written with great heart.
I should've written this review last summer when I read the book, but I always love this author's beautiful writing. This book was particularly interesting because of Gloria--what a character. Her age, her history, her gigantic mistakes and theft! Bold choices from an author at the top of her game. I also loved how each of the three women in the story were so distinct and different from each other, yet were clearly bound together by love and tragic loss.
This book was just okay honestly, I enjoyed reading the growth of Willow as well as the loyalty and love that Gloria and her lover possessed. However, Sam! Smh! She got on my. Last. Nerve. She had some deep rooted issues she needed to deal with and went about life just fine but her personal relationships were trash! I hated the way she used and treated her longtime best friend. I didn’t think she deserved how much he gave himself for her. With that being said, they basically had their own storyl...
This book squandered so much potential. It never addresses the details of the art theft or why the FBI never pressed charges. The failure to explain essential components of the plot makes this book just silly.
Two very different sisters, previously raised by an incredible aunt after the death of their rock star mother, discover themselves and each other at a turning point in each of their lives. The characters are rich with elements that make them multi-dimensional, likeable and unlikeable at times, but always identifiable. In the end, because we are also human, we sympathize with their short comings and failures, and rejoice in their successes. The plot is rich, with unexpected twists, and surprising...
O'Neal's latest is an emotional adventure.Kinda hard to say who I liked more. Was it Willow, the songwriter who's trying to come to terms with her famous mother's past as well as get over a past relationship? Or Sam who's in danger of losing both her company and the man she loves? Or is it Gloria, the former fight attendant and current influencer who has a gorgeous rooftop apartment and tales of an amazing lover?Okay, it's Gloria. I'm a sucker for older ladies doing the damn thing.Even so, Write...
