'Official Review: In Hindsight' by Sharon Bonanno and Lisa Scott is a useful piece of information about the life of two sisters for an average reader! It is a productive and knowledgeable work related to the life of the authors! The fact that the sisters are narrating their true-life stories draws the attention of readers in the book! The point that the story of the two authors is one of hope, family, and second chances is worth mentioning in the review! Nice to learn that the book was an enjoyable read that the reviewer would cherish for a long time to come!

Wow, it could not be easy writing about these events on their life. I do relate to some of these family challenges. I commend them for creating awareness and hrlping most people see light at the end of the tunnel. Good review.

I commend the author duo for sharing their story of overcoming struggles. While I do love memoirs, lately, I have been reading too many and might take a break from this genre. I would definitely look it up some other time. Thanks for the review and the recommendation.

The writing is descriptive and it makes you feel like you are part of the story. This memoir told by two sisters who have been through it all is truly inspiring. Addiction takes over so many people's lives and tears them apart. To find healing, forgiveness and rise above it all is a journey to recovery. Thank you for your wonderful review.

It sounds like separately and collectively, the sisters have been through quite alot of different struggles that many can relate to either directly or indirectly (they describe going through their parent's divorce, one of the sister's gets diagnosed with diabetes at a young age, addiction, and more). It sounds like a well written memoir, especially because each sister gets to share from their perspective.

This story about the two sisters sounds interesting, especially since it provides input from both viewpoints. Addiction really does rip families apart all the time, and I am sure reading about the impact of addiction on the sisters' relationship would be an interesting one. Thanks for the great review!

In Hindsight by Sharon Bonanno and Lisa Scott is a story that teaches life changing lessons. Human life has no certainty of a fixed future. So, we should be ready for anything. Congratulations on #BOTD.

Lisa and Sharon can easily be the story of any one of us. There might be some differences but the similarities are sometimes too close for comfort. But then that's why memoirs are always a good read, one way or the other you will find your own story between the pages giving you hope that everything will also be okay in the end. Thank you for a very detailed review. Keep it up.

It's interesting to see that two people that grew up in the same circumstance have totally diverging lives. However, I look forward to finding out if Lisa gets her life back together. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Hurting each other, hindering, and healing each other. Sounds like what a family will do. While some never heal, I am glad that Sharon, Lisa, and their mom found each other in the end. Congrats on being the BOTD.

I respect authors who make themselves vulnerable to tell readers about their life experiences. It's very bold that Lisa shares her addiction problem as well as her health condition. Both sisters share with us their family matter in a way to teach and heal other broken families and it is impressive.

I am sure this book requires at least one box of tissues. These three women (mom and daughters) went through a lot. I am eager to join them in their walk down memory lane.

A story that was written by two sisters which tells their stories and the roles they played in each other's life will be an engaging one with lots of lessons. Nice review.
