First off, I want to say that I absolutely adored Robin Benway's debut novel Audrey Wait. The day I bought it, I just sat on my couch and read until I finished it, laughing hysterically the whole time. In fact, a section from it even inspired my ex-best friend's thank you cards for a b-day party, but that's a whole other story. That being said, I was disappointed in Robin Benway's sophomore novel.

I've been trying to figure what it was about this novel that just didn't satisfy me. I mean, it was a good story. I enjoyed the dynamic between the sisters and found it to be reasonably believable. (Then again, I'm the only girl in the family, so I don't have anything to refer to.) The characters, however, just didn't cut it for me. April was just a uptight priss, and reading her chapter was like watching someone have an anxiety attack. May was more bearable. I could relate to her awful teenage angstness and loner syndrome. June, however, was my favorite sister. I can relate to being the baby of the family and wanting to be my own person and follow my own path. I also envy her superpower. I mean, who wouldn't want to read minds? Imagine all the gossip you could get! *winks* The parents in this novel fell flat, something that disappointed me after the quirky parents in Audrey Wait. There weren't really many friends in this story, something that might contribute to my disappoint in this novel. I did like Mariah, who added some edge to the story. I absolutely hated Blake, who was just your stereotypical jackass. Oops, can I say that in a review? *shrugs* Oh well!

Now, of course, I must talk about the guys of this novel. Henry sounded adorable, and I loved the nice contrast between him and May. (Reminds me of That '70s Show with the couple's roles in reverse.) Julian and April are a whole other story. I feel like the author just threw him in so she would have an excuse to loosen up April a bit. Really, I think the two things that brought this book down were April and too many unnecessary plot points.

Which now allows me to talk about the plot. The plot of this novel itself is interesting but not well executed. Benway throws us a few good twists that are satisfying, but the overall feel is cluttered. (Not going to say what those twists are cuz you should read and find out.)

Recommendation: Definitely worth a read, but get it from the library.

Cover: I absolutely love this cover! It's so cool, thought the girls on the front aren't what I imagine the three sisters to look like.
