Catching Genius

By Kristy Kiernan
Rated DNF

Below is the blurb from the book jacket. I did not finish this book because I didn't like the characters well enough to spend time with them. Estella was OK, Connie was a major whiner and describing her with the "B" word worked for me.

"As children, the Sykes sisters - Connie and Estella - were unassuming, precocious, and very close, until one sister was discovered to be a math prodigy. Estella, pushed to focus on her gift, fell into their father's favor, leaving Connie to grow up in her shadow. Connie, the "normal" little sister, became defined by her beauty rather than her intellect. Now, years later, at the request of their mother, the sisters are forced to reunite on the Gulf Coast of Florida as they pack up their childhood home and ready it for sale. The reunion comes at a time of crisis, in which both Connie and Estella must come to terms with painful revelations and devastating consequences. And once again, her sister's genius may alter Connie's life in ways she cannot control."--BOOK JACKET.
