I alternated between loving this book and being very annoyed by it. I spent more time in the enjoying it side, but got more annoyed as the book went on.

I liked the family relationships in the book. I enjoyed the byplay between the sisters, and how they went about reestablishing their friendship. I found both sisters to be interesting characters.

Lauren needs to grow up, but she's got a good heart. Her sister Ava is trying to help her in the growing up department. Sometimes she appreciates this, sometimes she doesn't.

Ava's been grown up for a long time. She's always taken life seriously. She wants to share this with her younger sister.

What I didn't like what the message about appearance. The characters say that beauty isn't important, but ignoring your appearance is. The fact that these conversations take place between two gorgeous size 6 women doesn't help.
