Charming story and quick read. Loved the three sisters storylines and how intertwined, yet individual they were.

This is a good 3.5 stars. Its not revelational or anything but you're really rooting for everyone from the start. I resonate with all of the sisters. It really has a sweet ending but my main complaint is that you don't get deeper into the relationships where they're falling in love (you do get a lot of family relationship dynamic though). I would definitely suggest for a lighthearted fun read.

(free review copy) Oh, I loved it! Wedding planner stories are my absolute favorite and this book combined wedding planning with sisters and an excellent Washington DC setting. There’s business and romance and food and it’s so atmospheric. If you love stories about weddings and family, definitely add this to your summer reading list!

I feel a little misled by the blurb characterizing this as a rom-com--to me, it read more like a grind-out-your-issues family drama. It just didn't come off very light or funny, I guess? I listened to the audio version and the narrator had a very serious, weighty delivery, so maybe that was the issue. Also, I wasn't super invested in either of the two central romances--after what felt like hours and hours of listening to the two sisters fight, I didn't like either Mari or Pearl enough to root very hard for them to find love. Just not a fit for me--your mileage may vary, of course!

Mari, Jane, and Pearl de la Rosa have taken over the family wedding planning business. The sisters follow traditional birth order roles with the oldest, Mari, being the one in charge, the youngest, Pearl, trying to prove she is responsible and the middle sister, Jane, the mediator. The sisters must learn to work together keep the business successful. They are also trying to find happily ever after in their personal lives as well.
I loved this book! The relationship between the sisters echoes a typical family. They may not always agree but when one gets in trouble they band together to help each other. The sisters try to overcome their typical roles. Each chapter is titled after a song and I loved that. It really set the mood for the chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a light, funny read.

Three sisters recently inherited a wedding planning business after their parents recently decided to retire. The youngest sister Pearl is hoping she will become a lead wedding planner but her eldest sister Mari is constantly doubting her abilities and she is getting ready to just walk out. Mari is stuck when one of her top client has an awful fiancé that reminds her of a very abusive relationship. The middle sister, Jane is juggling being a single mom and being the mediator with her stubborn sisters. While the sisters were all dealing their own love interest, the story was mostly centered around their business, their differences and how the come together in the end when they finally realized that they are stronger together. It was a lovely read.
