I love books about sisters! This story was interesting to read. I love the family drama.  The family has been cursed because of their monarch, Augusta. When 17 year old  Nikki brings a boy home everyone knows it's time to tell her about the curse. Unfortunately,  her mother, Victoria is not ready for her to grow up. When Nikki seeks help from her Aunt Willow it drives a rift between the sisters.  Augusta watching the fallout knows she needs to tell the family her secret. Then Madeline, Willow and Victoria's mother shows up unannounced after being absent for 10 years. DRAMA!

I really enjoyed the first half of the book, the mystery was interesting and I wanted to find out how the family would solve their problems.

Unfortunately there isn't much of a plot and despite the characterisations being initially really strong, by the end I had to check the chapter title to remember which pov I was reading because they all started to blend together.
