Following these sisters has a combination of several feelings, especially when, towards the end of the book, the sisters had to participate in one of the member's funerals. Mechelle Cummings did a tremendous job in the review.

This is an outstanding review. I commend the author for integrating friendship, love, and fly-fishing as the foundation of an intriguing plot that holds my attention. Furthermore, the characters personalities appear to elicit my interest in their lives. I'm excited to read this book. Congratulations on getting selected as the book of the day!

I nomaly do fishing my self so I wouldn't say it's the reason why I read the book. I did find it interesting to learn what makes fly fishing different, but the big draw for this book was the relationships in it and to how they bonded. Not all books of this genre are so beneficial in my opinion. The way this one was presented was so pleasant and I felt like I could just sit back, watch these lives and glean bits of life wisdom from the interactions without anyone giving unsought advice to anything like that. For me I wold like to say I love this book and I also would like to see or read more books like this.

This seems to be a book about the friendship of five women. I don't know a lot about fly fishing, but it's great to see these women bonded over it. It's also lovely to hear they accepted Melody into their group. Thanks for a great review!

At first I thought the "Reel" sisters was spelt wrong, but as I read the wonderful review, I realized "reel" meant the fishing reel, so loved the book from the name itself. But the review made it even better. Five ladies of 5 different ages, having the same interest & supporting each other. That's what we need in today's societies too. Thank you.

This story talks about how five women were bonded over the sport of fly fishing. The story talks about how each of them explains her life's challenges and how this group of sisters is always ready to help each other. This book seems interesting and recommendable. Nice review.

Although I initially assumed the book would be about movies, it turns out to be about fly fishing. Although I find the idea of reading a book about female relationships intriguing, I believe I will pass on this one because to the fishing.

I like the use of the first person narrative, which enables the readers to connect with the characters at various levels. The vivid description of the fishing exercise is also intriguing as that will inform those not used to the art better informed. I think the story of these sisters deserves giving a read.

Since it was the book of the month not long ago, I've seen a few reviews for this. It certainly look like a fascinating tale about the relationships between the women. It's a little too sluggish for my liking, but it's an excellent book to read on a quiet day or over the weekend. Thank you for the review.

I appreciate how the review delves beyond the surface of fly fishing and explores the deeper themes of friendship and personal challenges. The reviewer's mention of each character's struggles and their support for one another creates a sense of authenticity. This book seems like a heartfelt journey worth experiencing.

This review beautifully captures the essence of Michelle Cummings' novel. The portrayal of women bonding over fly fishing is refreshing and breaks stereotypes. The reviewer's description of the fishing experience and the strong friendships formed among the characters makes me eager to dive into the book.

Michelle Cummings seems to have creatively captured the fly fishing practice and turned it into a beautiful metaphor for catch and release. Friendships need a hook that brings them together and, in this story it was hobby of fly fishing for the five women. Very interesting book. I would like to read this sometime. You have written the review so well. Congratulations on the BOTD!
