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.

- Frustration Captured!
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Great Summer Read
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.

- Nice entertaining book. Nothing sensational
I read Catching Genius because I was intrigued by the subject matter. Two sisters who have to deal with the high IQ of one and the average IQ of the other. This difference in IQ and the resulting attention to one sister over another led to the eventual estranement of the two. It was very entertaining and thought provoking. The story held me from beginning to end. I thought the ending wrapped up a little to perfectly. It almost seemed as if the author tired of the characters and wanted everything ... Read More
Rating: - 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. ... Read More
