I really disliked this book. The characters were insufferable and the plot was so 1. Unbelievable and 2. Just gross, I had to double check to see if I was actually reading Hilderbrand. I loved the other books I read from her and am now wondering if those happened to be the exception or if this is the exception. Sadly, I’ve removed all of her books I had marked “to read” but will give her another try in the future. Right now, I just can’t.

caprivoyant's review against another edition

4.0

I haven't read any other Elin Hilderbrand books, so I didn't really know what to expect going into this one; and maybe that was the best way to read it.

At its heart, it's not really a romance novel, perse. There are romance storylines in it... But it's really a story of family/sister love. And I love a story about family/sister love. 🥹
