If I ever have to read the words “family”, “Fate” or “the Blessing” again it will be too soon. Seriously the word “family” was on one page 4 times. That’s 3 too many. And it’s almost every single page. We get it, piper feels like an outsider to her family. I originally had this at 2 stars but the more I think about the overuse of those 4 words, the more I’m getting annoyed. While I liked Piper, her mom and her dad, her aunts (who are somehow the only family our dear Piper cares to “belong to”) are controlling, egotistical jackasses. Bless Diana for putting up with the whole mess. I received this E-ARC from NetGalley for free and any opinions are my own.
