This is the 3rd book and first time I've read by Deborah Wilde. The books are terrific, a page turner and several well written funny lines and stories. I'm in love with the cast of characters and looking forward to finishing the next 3 book in the series. The only downside will be when there are no more books with these characters. Brilliant, well done, Deborah Wilde is a great story teller. I highly recommend you read this series. Sincerely, Greg Shank ) One person found this helpful

Now my oldest granddaughter is like her Mom, but Amber ( the GD) and I have a great relationship. BTW she's 16. Funny right? So when I'm reading about Meri and Sadie's relationship is like mine with Amber. Although she's really noticing the boys. They come before Moody. Moody is me. My oldest grandson named...
