I'm really sorry to say that I had to DNF this book which is something I try so hard not to do. I felt that the story lacked drive; there was nothing keeping me gripped and I felt that the plot was all over the place. Claudia is having doubts over her upcoming wedding, but aside from that I'm not really sure what happens in the first third of the book (which is where I gave up!). There was a lot about Claudia's siblings and how they get on, but I felt that the character descriptions and interactions were all over the place. They didn't seem to fit in with the story line at the time, nor add anything to the plot. I felt like it was an overload of information about the family with no real reason for it. I would have normally kept pushing through in the hope that it all came together a bit more, but upon reading a lot of negative reviews from people who did finish the book but wished they didn't, I decided I would stop reading.

Thanks to netgalley for a copy of the e-book in exchange for an honest review. I apologise that I couldn't finish this one.
