This is my first Sparks book. I would read her again because it was fun but she wouldn't be a "go to" author for me.
The characters in her book are very one dimensional. She tries to make their back stories tormented or interesting but they don't connect with the actions of the characters in the present. For example, Caitlyn went through life feeling rejected and being not good enough. Yet, she repeatedly puts herself in situations with Carlos where he rejects her. On top of that I have a hard time believing the sisters being so independent and brave won't find a way to help their mother.
Sparks does that a lot. She will mention a problem off hand that seems to have some real meat and then forget about it going for some typical silly romance problems. She could have done so much more plot-wise with these characters.
Again it wasn't a bad book. It had humor and kept my interest. Just could have been better.
