review 1: Deanna Lynn Sletten’s Widow, Virgin, Whore is a powerful and heartfelt tale of three women, two of them sisters, aching and distant from old hurts, and a third, with her own burdens, who bridges the gap between the sisters when there is no more time for regrets. Sletten reminds us that our strongest bonds sometimes are outside of our blood family unit as she draws the relationship that develops between the widow Katherine and Darla, a woman who has made some dubious choices, who is subsequently diagnosed with AIDS. Every day, living together conflict is magnified with Darla’s diagnosis and reverberates through the extended family of parents, siblings, children, friends and love interests. There is nothing fake about this story or its emotional punch. The relationships ... moreare genuine and written in such a way that put me in the middle of the drama and made me feel as if this was told about a neighbor or a friend. Katherine and the sisters, Darla and Denise, felt very real to me and while I dreaded what I knew was coming at the end, I was nonetheless glued to my Kindle. The best stories are about quiet heroes and small victories, and Widow, Virgin, Whore is one of them.
review 2: I chose this book to review and I was super excited about reading it but I was pleasantly surprised when I got into it and literally didn't want to put it down. Every time I have a few minutes with nothing to do I turned on my Nook so that I could read a little bit more even if it was only a few lines. I fell in love with the characters and was sad at the ending but I also knew how it would end once I was a few chapters into it. The one thing I can say about this book is don't judge it because of the title or after the first couple of chapters. Give it time and I know you will fall in love with it like I did. less
