I did not rate this one as I had barely started it before I'd decided it wasn't for me. Yes, I know I didn't really give this one a fair go but this book was making my head explode.

***the rest is spoilerish, proceed with caution***

In this case, I found it hard to relate to the characters. One sister, Jenny, is divorced and still friends with her ex...and his new wife. She loves him so much that having him as a friend is better than nothing at all. He fell out of love with her, didn't want a family and yet two sec's after he divorces he finds the love of his life and starts a family with her. Yicky Yuck!! I'm not that good or nice a person and I can't relate to that level of forgiveness.

Now, the second sister...her triplets are the love of her life...Huh?!?! It's fantastic that her kids are important in her life, but I'm a firm believer that your husband should be the love your life, not the kids. Yeah sure, she's got her hands full...but his hands should be full too. Well, too full to think of getting a bit on the side, in my opinion. As soon as she suspected, she should have confronted him. When she didn't, that put the axe in the coffin for me.

I probably should not have read If You Only Knew as my introduction to Kristan Higgins. A LOT of my friends love her, but I'm sorry to say that if this is her style of characters, I think I'm not her right audience.

Maybe if I had given it more of a chance I could have fallen in love with the characters, but unfortunately, I'll never know.
