Catching Genius
As children, Connie and Estella were best friends-until Estella was discovered to be a math prodigy, which led to the sisters' estrangement. Now, years later, they 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 when both Connie and Estella must come to terms with painful revelations and devastating consequences in their own lives. And once again, her sister's genius may alter Connie's life in ways she cannot control.

Started off a little slow (for me) and picked up nicely.

First off, one of the bad reviews had some incorrect information and apparently the reviewer did not read through to the end. I don't typically write reviews (more a fan of listmania) but I enjoyed this book quite a bit and was sad to finish it. It's about Connie and Estella, two sisters who were close in their childhood but then are separated by a parent who is clearly consumed by one child's "giftedness". The story unfolds with the perfect amount of information and drama to keep one wanting more. The author wrote a solid, believable story, she certainly did her research.
Wonderful Book!!

Okay - I'll admit - I read the reviews and thought, "Oh, no - another "sister" book - filled with anger, guilt, recriminations, angst and reconciliation. I decided not to read it. But, luckily someone recommended it to me, and since I didn't have anything else to read, I read it. This book was so good that I couldn't bear to put it down. And it's by a new author so I can look forward to more books from her! I'm recommending Catching Genius to everyone I know.
A complex and beguiling read

I so enjoyed this book. I am estranged from my sister and the prose just sang to me! There were so many poignant passages that I was just in awe. I especially adored Estella and her "three facts about..." Well done and highly recommended!
Catch this book!

I loved this book! It was a wonderful read, one you'll want to keep on your shelves forever. The delicate relationship between the sisters is both poignant and challenging - I had to stay up to finish the book to see what happened. CATCHING GENIUS won't disappoint!
