Overall, the book was blah. My main praise is that I like the romance between Nora and Charlie; however, no amount of cute romance will cause me to overlook the fact that I HATED Nora's sister Libby.

Libby was SO awful and annoying that it almost made me DNF the book at chapter 26. The relationship between Nora and Libby is just HORRIBLE. Poor Nora is a neurotic mess due to trauma (stemming from the loss of her mother) and the only cure to her anxiety is to pseudo-mother Libby. Nora sacrifices her dream career for a higher paying job because Libby and her husband require the supplemental income that Nora provides in order to support their two (and a half) children. Libby and her husband never once consider that it might be irresponsible to continue having children, because according to Book Lovers, Libby can do no wrong.

Libby has the AUDACITY to be annoyed by the financial and emotional support. Actions speak louder than words though -- even though Libby says that she doesn't want to be mothered, she berets Nora anytime Nora doesn't immediately drop everything to mother Libby. It's absolutely ridiculous. Libby is a fully grown woman with a husband and children and yet she cannot survive without the undivided attention of her sister. 

Libby is just the WORST kind of younger sibling do-no-wrong dreamer -- what kind of IDIOT decides that she's moving her whole family to a town before she's even visited because she read about it in a FICTION novel. 

The writing is fine -- good, even -- but I literally cannot stand the characters in this book.
