After I finished The Wild Rose I was trying to figure out what book to read. Unfortunately all my books were in boxes. So I couldn't get at them. Then when I moved the first night I opened my boxes to seek out a new book to read. I didn't know what to read, I have a long list of books to get through. I decided on this one not only because I wanted to see how another author tackeled the Jane Austen classic plot but also I know soon I will be in class with not that much time for fun reading so I liked the idea on reading a new book book but with I plot I knew and loved.

Daphne Rivera and her sister Gabby could not be more different.
For fifteen-year-old Daphne, the glass is always half full, a dab of lip-gloss can ward off a bad day, and the boy of her dreams—the one she's read about in all of her beloved romance novels—is waiting for her just around the corner.
But Daphne’s older sister Gabby wishes Daphne would get real. In Gabby’s world, everyone’s out for themselves, wearing makeup is a waste of time, and boys only distract you from studying before they break your heart. The only boy Gabby trusts is her best friend, Mule, who has always been there for her.
Both Gabby and Daphne are still reeling from their parents’ divorce, though in very different ways. While Gabby will never forgive her unreliable father for failing her mother, Daphne idolizes her daddy and is sure that everything would work out fine if her cranky mom would just let him back into their lives.
When a crisis leaves the girls and their mom homeless, help comes from an unexpected source, and both girls are courted by surprise suitors who shake up their views of the world. Suddenly the glass isn’t so clearly half empty or half full . . . and love seems a lot more complicated than they ever could have imagined.
