Very good, however, I prefered the 1st 2 books over this one

I liked the beau, Jon, in this book the best of the 3 men. Kit was good, Will left me a bit cold. But Jon, he was wonderful! Now, with that said, here are my thoughts on this book. It had an interesting mix of an Irish family, a Greek cook, an Italian street urchin, a French tutor, and a Norwegien miner. Sometimes, if there were 2 or more accents used in a scene, it was a bit distracting, but some might say that made the book even more enduring. The things that bothered me most: 1. Aglia from the 1st book, Thalia from the 2nd book, and Phronsy from the 3rd book, were not invited to the Sullivan girls' wedding. This was a sacrilege from my point of view. These 3 women (Greek godesses) were an intrigal part of each story, and without them, there would have been no stories. Of course, in order to have them standing at the 3 Graces rock formation in their flowing white gowns & flowers in their hair, they couldn't very well have been invited to the wedding, could they? I would have preferred to see them be invited to the wedding, if it meant sacrificing the flowing gown scene. They earned the right & deserved to be present. When Will says "why would they be here?" I wanted to hit that man upside the head with a frying pan ... get a clue, buddy! 2. At the end of Belle's & Charisma's stories, each of their 3 wishes were revealed: their spoken wish, their unspoken wish, & their heart's wish. At the end of Grace's book, there is no mention of it, so I can only guess at what I don't know. Grace's spoken wish (we did see this in the 1st book): to be more graceful. Grace's unspoken wish: for her dad & mom to stop fighting all the time. Grace's heart's wish: for a husband who felt, like she did, that propriety wasn't for everyone. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give this book a 8.5 at the very least.
