Sisters in Alexandria struggle to love each other while moving into a new phase of their family business. Lovely, vibrant, complex women who put sisterhood first. Looking forward to this series!

In book three of The Guild Codex: Warped series, Kit and Lienna are assigned an off the books case of a missing teenager. There investigation leads them to the Ghost aka the Crystal Druid aka Zak from the Spellbound books. I really enjoy the Guild Codex series. I loved how Demonized weaved its way through Spellbound and how Kit and Lienna end up dealing with the aftermath of the events in both Spellbound and Demonized and now it appears the Warped and Unveiled with also be interconnected. Annette Marie has created an exciting and complete world with fun and well developed characters

The de la Rosa girls, Mari, Pearl, and Jane, all seem different on the outside: each of them has their own talent, their own personality. On the inside, one would find that they are particularly alike. All three care deeply about their family and about the family business – their bridal shop. The Key to Happily Ever After is the story of the de la Rosa sisters, how they over come obstacles, and how they each find their own happiness.
I enjoyed this light, sweet read. Marcelo’s writing is easy going, and I loved how she incorporated songs as chapter titles – each song setting the mood for the sister’s actions chapter to chapter.
Marcelo incorporated family dynamics, sisterhood, domestic problems, trauma, and love into one big platter of love in the form of a book. I gave this book a five out of five star rating, because of Marcelo’s writing style and the depth of the plot. The stories of the three sisters were weaved together impeccably, making The Key to Happily Ever After the perfect read for a day by the pool.

I’ve always enjoyed novels that include sisters (think [b:The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls|39719167|The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls|Anissa Gray|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1532492023s/39719167.jpg|61072484], published earlier this year, or [b:Summer Secrets|23245587|Summer Secrets|Jane Green|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1426128094s/23245587.jpg|42788868] by Jane Green, one of my favorites); I’m not sure why, other than the fact that I don’t have any and I’ve always thought it might be fun.

This is a really cute story! I think it perfectly captures the joys and challenges of living and working with your sisters.

2.5. I just wished Jane had more scenes. The whole book alternates between Mari and Pearl’s POVs, and if you’re gonna have three sisters, you need to give the third one equal time — i.e., full chapters, not mere paragraphs. I know she’s supposed to be the mediator between the two, but honestly, the constant head-butting between Mari and Pearl got tiring, and I wanted a break.

I think I expected a cute rom-com, but this book focused more on the business aspect of wedding planning. I loved the family connection, as I'm super close with my sister (even though I'd never work with her) but I wish this book had more of the love-story going on. It was cute though.

This was a nothingburger of a novel. Pretty typical chicklit. I didn't love it and didn't hate it. But if it's the first in a series (sets up at the end with the possibility of further novels about the sisters), I'm not going out of my way to find them.

Not bad, but not interesting enough to warrant me finishing this.

The Key to Happily Every After is a sweet and at times funny look at the three de la Rosa sisters
who take over the family's wedding planning business. I could relate to this story as I have
four sisters and have had my share of family drama. The oldest always thinks she knows better and is in charge, the middle sister is the negotiator and the youngest is the one who thinks she can do no wrong. Through the ups and downs of wedding planning and getting the brides down the aisle, the sisters themselves find romance and realize that there is nothing better than family. Thank you to Tif Marcelo, Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
