I found it hard to put the book down. I also have 2 sisters, and reading the book, I compared some of the sisters' interactions with those I have experenced with my own sisters - jealousy, confrontations, joy for the others, hurting when they hurt, etc. This was a wonderful read in my estimation - have already passed it on to one of my sisters!

I found this book not very engaging or interesting. The three sisters don't have a profound bond to each other or anyone else. They are each faced with different romantic situations, 2 of which I found fake and irritating. (1 has an affair with a married man. 1 gets involved with a man that she clearly finds beneath her and then calls it love???) I have read other Nancy Thayer books which I have enjoyed, but with this one, I wish I wouldn't have wasted my time.
