- Synopsis
- REESE&’S BOOK CLUB PICK • Two sisters examine what they owe each other and what they are willing to sacrifice to make their dreams come true—from a New York Times bestselling author whose writing has been called &“witty, heartfelt&” (New York Times), &“lively [and] intelligent&” (People). What would you give up for the person you love most? What would you expect in return?Mia and Cricket have always been close. The gifted daughters of a young single mother, the &“Lowe girls&” are well-known in the small Maine town they call home. Each sister has a role to fill: The responsible and academically minded Mia assumes the position of caregiver far too young, while Cricket, a bouncing ball of energy and talent, seems born for soccer stardom. But the cost of achieving athletic greatness comes at a steep price.As Mia and Cricket grow up, they must grapple with the legacy of their mother&’s secret past while navigating their own precarious future. Can Mia allow herself to fall in love at the risk of repeating a terrible history? Will Cricket&’s relentless chase of a lifelong goal drive her sister away? When does loyalty become self-sabotage?A sharply observed and tender portrait of sisters, love, and ambition, Spectacular Things is a sweeping story about the impossible choices we&’re forced to make in pursuit of our dreams.
