I was late in discovering this series so I didn’t have long to wait for this book. It was a good thing because the book was so good, it would have been hard to wait for the second one. As I was reading this I felt like welcome to the neighborhood. I was in the neighborhood and just part of this story. This is life, it has its ups and downs, its struggles and regular everyday routines. There is a saying that things come into your life when you need them and I think this series did just that. It was nice reading this book because I forgot all my stress and things going on and thought about the 3 sisters and all that they had going on. I highly recommend this book and hope you choose to read the series too. Now, I can read book 3 because that came out at the same time. I certainly was happy about that.
