I really wanted to get into this first book then the rest of the series but I couldn't connect to the storyline or the characters at all unfortunately. Perhaps I'll try again at some point in the future because so many people adore this series and I do like the overall series set-up of being a book about each sister's past.

The depiction of Asperger's, which by the way is just autism, is disgusting

Riley's first novel in the 'Seven Sister's series follows eldest sister, Maia, as she heads to Brazil following a mysterious clue about her heritage left by her late adoptive father. A historical romance that weaves together themes of love, acceptance, and self discovery.
