After taking a bit of a detour with One and Only, this book is back to the ol' great Emily Giffin. I really enjoyed it all the way to the end.

Josie is pretty obnoxious and unlikable.

I'm a fan of Emily Giffin books and this was no exception. This was a different kind of story and I don't feel like anything major happened. There were no major twists, turns, secrets or bombshells but i still loved the story and was excited to pick it up and read it when I got the chance. The sisters kind of reminded me of me and my sister in subtle ways which made me relate to the story more. I'd recommend it for a quick read.

Insufferable characters. I couldn’t stand the amount of negative comments regarding weight and body image.

I love the candidness of the characters. Sometimes you are a jerk and don’t mash well with you family but it comes down to honesty and understanding. Although it is a story I think there is a bigger picture and lesson to learn. The voice change per chapter was also done very well.

I wasn't underwhelmed; I wasn't overwhelmed. The untraditional family turns kept the book moving along as well as the nice writing. A decent summer read for fans of this genre.

Although this was not my favorite of Emily Giffin's, I enjoyed it and think it deserves a sequel. There's potential there.
