My only objection is that I kept sobbing towards the end of last night. My husband thought something was very wrong with me.

Two half-sisters with a celebrity mom, Claire Sullivan and Meghann Dontess. Due to neglect and abandonment by their mom, Meghan, the older was a stand-in mom for her younger sister, Claire. When their mother completely forgot about them, Meghan panicked and called Claire's stepfather who was not even aware of Claire. He came and took them away, Meghann felt rejected and ran away.

Years later, Meghann is a prominent divorce lawyer making a lot of money and her little sister helped her father with his small resort in Hayden, Washington.
Megahnnis always lonely and uses alcohol and one-night stands to numb her broken feelings. She longs for her sister but refuses to take action recommended by her psychiatrist. Claire gets asked to a getaway with a group of her long-time friends and meets Bobby Austin. Claire falls hard for a country music singer who never got a big break.

A drifter with a big secret misses his sister and reluctantly returns to Hayden. He feels guilty and has never been able to live with his grief.

The characters were drawn so well that I got attached to them and wanted a sequel. I am always drawn to character-centered, especially family books are my favorite. ( )

Happiest of endings. ( )

Not a fan of these type of books. Nice story but no guessing. I knew exactly where this ending was going. ( )

The first Hannah book I read and it was hard to put down. It made me laugh and cry. I will for sure try some of her other books! ( )
