I loved this book, and it is definitely my favorite Amy Poeppel novel that I’ve read. With a wildly interconnected cast of characters and a comedy of errors vibe, this story is easily readable without being cheesy or too far fetched. It somehow makes New York City feel like a small town in the best way and features themes of forgiveness, found family, and female friendship. The epigraph for this book describes it perfectly: “The sweet spot is where duty and delight converge.” Each character must consider their own duty and delight, and their lives and relationships are changed as a result.

The description was quite confusing to me when I first read it. It's a cute quirky story. I love the Aston's and their personalities. You'll love most characters, and dispise others. Enjoyed it.
