⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
A sweet, whimsical, feel good story about a family cursed that the second born daughters will never find love. The story spans generations, tells love stories that almost happened but didn’t or couldn’t, over & over. There is a trip to Europe, long lost family reunited, a lifelong love story & the deep connection between sisters & the women in the family.
I enjoyed this one but there was not enough “oomph” to make it feel profound or deeply interesting. It also felt long - too long. The story was good, certainly worthwhile, but overall it came to feel like a bit of a two dimensional slog to push to finish it. I can see why others loved it but it just isn’t my preferred genre.
