Secrets of the Tulip Sisters by Susan Mallery
2.0

Sisters Olivia and Kelly come to terms with their parents' failed marriage and their own relationship as they find love in small town Tulpen.

One of those you know where it's going the minute you start reading it comfortable sweater type books with a few too many meh moments for me to fully enjoy it. The audio book narrator did a great job, even playing her at 1.25x speed! I do love that feature on Hoopla/Overdrive.

Spoilers ahead!

I found the men of this novel to be quite infuriating at times, especially how Jeff treated Helen after the return of Merilee AND when Sven immediately called Olivia a whore after accusing her of two-timing him. Not cool dude, and I thought she should have made him suffer a bit more. Also, it was nice to Kelly's struggle with climaxing which is a rare occurence in romance novels but of course Griffith's magic sex skills fixed it for her the second time they tried.
