Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

The story of sisters who don’t like one another., it had jealousy, a lovely setting and characters with their own issues, which put distances between them.

Every time they’ve met up, there’s hope of coming close, but it doesn’t happen. This makes you appreciate your own relationships.

I enjoyed reading this book.

This about how family and it’s history has a lasting effect on relationships. The story is how the sisters got through it with the live for each other. A beautiful story filled with strong women.

This book just wasn't for me.

All 3 main characters were unlikable and I couldn't get behind any of them. I hated the way character arcs were destroyed and instead of having a positive "look how far we've come" ending, I just felt frustrated that one of the characters who was so awful and did such horrible things ended up with a happy ending.

There were moments where I saw promise but they were brief,

I really wanted to like this book but I just couldn't connect.

Daisy, Sage and Cassidy are step and half sisters.
Sage and Cassidy were closer to each other than they were to Daisy and made Daisy feel like the outsider. After their parents divorce and lots of meddling from Sage and Cassidy's mum they lost contact for years but circumstances changed and they all ended up needing each others help in one way or another and finally become closer and become friends as well as sisters
A lovely story, couldn't put it down

We start with Daisy a busy working mum with a dodgy car, important job, noisy sick kids and an unreliable husband. Meet Sage, an unpredictable stepsister who flits from one marriage to the next. Cassidy has had a horrible accident dodging say "I do" to the man who should be the love of her life but too scared to see it,
The family history clearly messes up these relationships between the women, but due to unusual circumstances you see why.
A real women's book that is honest, raw and isn't afraid to show female empowerment as well as their flaws. Some cheeky fun moments, you love to hate Sage's mother. But also some real poignant moments of heart break,
Characters are fab, Daisy is my favourite. Honest, true and humble (even if she has a housekeeper/babysitter.)
Perfect escapism into a complicated family. Joyful to read.
