When Daisy’s older sisters starts dating the Scottish prince
she met at her London school, life became weird enough. So weird that Daisy’s long-time boyfriend
actually sold their prom pictures to a tabloid – instant break-up! But now Ellie and Alex are actually getting
married. In a show of unity, the family
heads from their small Florida town to Scotland for a summer meet-up. Alex’s younger siblings are a pair of
gorgeous twins – Sebastien and Flora – who are always on display in the
tabloids. How can Daisy measure up?
What are the odds that two books about younger sisters with
older sisters marrying Scottish princes would come out in the same season? (See Prince in Disguise by StephanieStrohm). I love Daisy’s spirit inherited
from her former rock star father and that she doesn’t allow herself to be
manipulated. I am still dismayed by the
unnecessary swearing – what could have been a super cute addition to any
library falls short.
