4.0

A delightful read. Though there's a heavy dose of dealing with grief, the book also is touching, humorous, and has just enough romance to be realistic. Two little girls are a bit precocious but in a fun way. I think it's hard to write lighthearted humor and Waxman succeeds; I smiled through most of the book. There's a feeling of found family as friendships develop and there's also the strong relationship and friendship between sisters that is so warm and loving.

If you enjoy relationship based stories told with a smile, you're sure to like this one.
