This thoroughly engaging novel centers around Harri Ryan, who is making her second attempt to marry on her 30th birthday. She doesn't make it the second time around because she ends up in the emergency room as she had a panic attack. Her fiance is devastated to have been left at the altar a second time, and packs his belongings and moves out of their shared apartment. Meanwhile, Harri's twin brother is certain that their parents are hiding something that may have something to do with Harri's panic attacks. Their parents finally come out and reveal a secret that they've kept from their children. Harri, her twin brother George, their parents, and their close-knit group of friends try to come to grips with this secret and what it means to Harri and those she loves.

This is an engagingly, well-written novel. The characters feel real, each with their own strengths and flaws. Harri's friends all have their own stories and issues that serve as subplots to the main story. The author has come up with a story that features 6 couples at different stages in their relationship.

If you enjoy hopeful romantic stories with interesting characters go get this book.
