Ok I'm sure this question has been asked before, but with slow ole dial up it take forever to find the answer.

Do you have to read this series in order or are they independent of each other?

Thanks

The series does have an order.  But not that important.  There will be references to couples and actions, but no major plot holes.  Basically that so and so are newlyweds or out of town due to blank.  I skipped around in the order and wasn't lost.  Each book is focused on one couple.  And all the couples are related either by family or by work.  It really isn't a secret about who ends up with whom or which couple the book is about.  The books will make sure to introduce the next couple for the next book.  But not knowing that did not spoil the book for me.

I read it out of order & was fine. :)

Me too...but I have to say I liked the earlier books more than the latter.

You can certainly read them out of order, but I really liked to read them in order because you get introduced to the family and the future characters as you go along.

Thanks ladies,

I'm usually very obsessive about reading order, but with this series some of the books look really good to me and some don't.
