Very fast paced, which I normally love, but it was possibly a bit too fast paced and lacked some character development. It sometimes seemed like the author was trying to put the sisters' romantic relationships at the forefront, but they often came across as immature because they would fall in love with people instantly, which undermined their characters a bit.
