Product Description:
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.

Humdrum sisterly drama with a dysfunctional marriage thrown in. I liked the change in point of view and tense, but that was about it. Nothing here felt very deep or real.

My book club started with the author's 2nd book, Matters of Faith, and quickly decided to read this one, as well. Both are wonderful discusion books. For Catching Genius, it's especially hard to believe this is a very first novel.
A couple of the women in our group said they thought they'd have to force themselves to finish it when they realized the main character was being repeatedly cheated on by her husband. We've read some books like that and well, enough already. Plus, most of us just don't find those characters too likeable. Yet, this stuff happens and what was refreshing about Catching Genius was getting to meet the character just at the time when she decides she's had enough, so rather than have to slog through all the familiar affair stuff with her, we instead get to see how and why she makes the changes that she does - all rendered in a very belieavable way. That, plus the sister and mother relationships made for a wonderful book club discussion.

Kristy Kiernan has either been in a similar situation with a sibling or has an uncanny ability to sense and understand the maddening nuances of family relationships gone off the dead end. As someone who struggles to have any kind of relationship at all with my sister, I can honestly say that this novel absolutely captured exactly how I feel and, I'm guessing, probably how my sister often feels too. It's a great read, well written and just complex enogh to keep you interested and wishing for another couple of chapters by the time you get to the end.

I thought this book was well written and loved the characters and story line. I would have loved for the book to continue and felt the end of the book didn't close all the hanging threads as tightly as I would have liked. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good novel about family, love and the nuances of life.
