Thank you so much to Disney Publishing Worldwide for providing me with a e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
This was such a sweet story! I loved reading it. I loved the family dynamic and being able to read the perspective of each sister as they navigated their own relationships. Just an all around wholesome story that really showed the bonds of sisterhood and how they each fit into the overall family dynamic.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publishers for the ARC. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. #NetGalley #DrizzleDreamsandLovestruckThings
I'm excited to read about a South Asian family and especially all the hygge-ness from an inn on Orcas Island. The vibe has me in my feels. Juggling four sisters will be interesting and I hope the book continues to differentiate them. I'm shocked they're so young and still in high school though. And the first part is all autumn-pumpkin-spice-vibes and I love it! I love that the conflicts aren't exacerbated by poor communication. I also loved that though the characters are in high school, we don't see much of their lives in school; it's not important to their character development. And also the poetic descriptions of the PNW season were so lovely. The author did a good job at changing the tone and voice for each section to suit each sister. The Avani section definitely felt breathless all the time. And I love that there is some queen representation. I did get annoyed in the Rani section with the script-like asides. They really pulled me out and I couldn't always figure out what was real and what was fantasy. But I liked Raj's excuse; it was pleasantly unexpected. I also love Rani's constant and sophisticated defense of romance novels. Rani's speech went too long, in my opinion, but the ending was perfect and satisfying.

Not one, but four (or 5??) perfect romances. The Singh sisters are so loveable, and their stories are so sweet and whimsical. I was obsessed with each story.

A lighthearted tale about four teenage sisters on beautiful Orcas Island. Told in four parts, one each from the perspective of each sister, they (and their father), all manage to fall in love over the course of the year. It all seems a bit of a whirlwind, but it was a lovely read full of PNW imagery (if sometimes romanticized!) and the love the characters feel for their family is heartwarming.
