I absolutely loved this story. It was romance, but the romance wasn't the only focus in the book. The family was the focus of the book. It's easy to see why this book is A Novel of Family and Love.Grace's family is her main priority--they are the reason she pretty much doesn't have a life. Her sisters Chloe and Nell are always taking her for granted, mostly because she never says no to them. She takes care of her dad and Chloe all of the time, and Nell some of the time. She does the cooking, and she works in her father's business--putting her dreams on hold.She does all of this without complaining. When her mother died, she promised to take care of her family, and that's what she's done all of these years. She's been more of a mother than a sister, and she's expected to resolve everything. But when her sister Nell puts her in charge of everything in her wedding, things start to fall apart.Grace was an amazing character. I loved how she never really thought of herself, even though she was using her family as an excuse to not put herself out there. She played it safe. Most characters that do this annoy me, but the writing style and Grace herself were so unique that I wasn't annoyed--I understood where Grace was coming from and I was immersed in the book.I connected with Grace the most. Though she was sometimes a pushover, I loved her personality and I really felt like she was a great person.Pete is Grace's best friend, but he's also very hot. Grace is blind to his attraction towards her, preferring to play it safe. But that never lasts, does it? He was really supportive and patient with Grace, and pushed her to follow her dreams, though she didn't listen.There's a bunch of family drama and hilarious moments, paired with the cutest romance and steamy passion. I definitely recommend this book to people who love family and love. Oh, and dreams coming true. That's always important :)
