Review: More About Her Family than Her Love

I have to admit to being rather disappointed in this offering from Kate Perry. Essentially, this is supposed to be a story about best friends who realize they're in love with each other. His feelings have apparently been there for a while, but she's been so caught up in taking care of her family--a grouchy but not too annoying father and two sisters (one of whom is an overdemanding, self-centered, egotistical you-know-what)--that she hasn't noticed what's been right in front of her face forever.I like close families in romance novels. I like the bond between sisters. I like the heroine who just wants to do the right thing. The problem with this story is that it focused too much on Grace's family relationships and her planning of her sisters wedding without giving enough time to the hero, Pete. Pete, for his part, sounds like a great guy. The descriptions of both his physical appearance and of his character just made me wish we had more of him and less of Grace's sister's wedding (Bridezilla's have nothing on that girl).The parts of the story that were really about Grace and Pete were great, there just weren't enough of them. And I know Kate Perry can do a great friends to lovers story, she did it so much better withProject Daddy (Zebra Debut)!
