I have read Kate Perry before and loved her books.  This book I had a harder time enjoying.  I had to force myself to keep reading.  The entire book is written in the 3rd person from the main character's Grace POV.  The plot was a fairly good plot but I found the dialouge extremely boring.  For a good part of the first half of the book you are just going through day to day of Grace's life.  Her mother passed away and she has basically raised her family including her dad.  The middle sister Nell is getting married and now expects Grace to plan the wedding.  Nell is a very unlikable character, one of the most selfish ones I have read in a long time.  The whole family basically uses Grace as their doormat.  I have read similar stories like this before but this was jut flat out boring.There was a little love interest with Grace's best friend Pete, and even that she put her family first and wanted to hide their relationship.  Towards the last 30% of the book I finally started to enjoy it.  The ending was pretty good and I am glad I finished it but I can't give a great recommendation.  I certainly will read a Kate Perry book again but not this one.
