I really, really wanted to like this one. I've heard such good things about Ms. Lake. There was just too much going on. Too many things I had to learn to understand the world. Boring, with so much action not sure how else I'd describe this one.

Continuation of the family saga. A story of heartbreak and finding love again. I really enjoyed seeing the other family members again. Francesca and Michael were a story worth waiting for.

Such humor in this book about finding love after the end of a relationship. I adored the characters. I adored the main relationship even more. Written so realistically but it was the humor that made this book.

Such a dark, sad story about sibling love, growing up in a small town and being true to yourself. Great mystery, I didn't see the end coming till I was almost done with the book.
