I loved the sister's dynamic as they navigated being new business owners. I loved the blossoming relationships that delicately took shape throughout the book. I loved seeing the ins and outs of the wedding planning business and the conflicts that arose from that. This is such a cute, charming, heart-warming book.

What a wonderful story! I love reading books with sibling relationships and the dynamics of family & this one had three Filipino-American sisters who run their families wedding planning business. There is definitely a bit of something everyone in this story: romance, brides, sibling rivalry, tenacious women running a business, and descriptions of food & cooking that may make you hungry! If you are looking for an wonderful & uplifting summer read, this is it.
