Nora, Raine and Courtney are three sisters who have been estranged for the past six years, when Raine ruined Nora’s wedding and then ran off with Matt, her best friend and Courtney’s secret lover. Now Courtney has gotten engaged and with boyfriend Lucas in tow is off to California to try and patch things up with Raine. Much to her surprise Matt and Raine are still living together and Courtney finds herself still harboring an attraction to him. Soon after Lucas and Courtney return home to start planning their wedding Raine and Matt show up, opening up a hornets’ nest of trouble. Secrets are revealed, old wounds are opened and scores are settled as the three sisters try to work out their feelings for one another.

Funny, sad and very real this book touched on a lot of the emotions and feelings that sisters and family have for one another, and how we all seem to always revert to our long established family roles when we are thrown together. Crisp writing, great characters and a realistic story line made this a really satisfying read.
