Piper really wants to feel like she fits in her extended family, each of whom finds their one true love and sticks with them. But Piper's parents are divorced and she wants her best friend Leo to be her Fated one (but he isn't). She already feels different due to her physical differences. So she squeezes herself into the role her aunts want for her, even if it doesn't make her happy. There are some good messages her about being true to yourself, but overall I didn't really care for Piper. She was pretty selfish in the way she manipulated the people around her. For grades 7 & up.
