Review
I was looking forward to this book, but I was not looking forward to it too. I know I am a bit weird, but allow me to explain.
I was feeling positive emotions because I really utterly enjoyed these books where one of the Callaghan sisters was playing the main part.
I felt a bit sad because there are 5 sisters and this is book 5. This means I had to say goodbye to this great family and their stories.
The first chapter is in fact where the book begins which is normal, but it’s also the end in a certain way. Am I speaking Chinese? I suppose so, but once you have finished the book, you will hear me loud and clear.
As I mentioned before each book features one of the sisters, but this does not mean the others are not important. They are not always seeing eye to eye the way it goes in real life too, but when one of them needs some TLC they are a united front. They put their own lives on the backburner if needed.
Loosing someone is hard, but what if you loose yourself…?
A lovely story that put a smile on my face, but the one person who always made the others smile, is the one that needs rescuing now.
Although it’s great, I still felt a bit more sad now. 5 stars
Thank you, Kristen Bailey and Bookouture
