I mostly enjoyed this book, the premise sounded interesting, and for the most part, it was. I enjoyed the beginning which told us a little about how the sisters were adopted by 'Pa Salt' etc. It was nice following the first sister, Maia's journeys. This isn't really my preferred genre tbh, I don't usually like dual timeline stories, but the way this was done, I didn't mind too much.
What I didn't like though, was the 'bedroom scenes' they were too explicit for me, if I'm honest. Being a Christian, I don't really want to focus on it. I also felt that Maia's story hadn't been completed. Maybe we will hear more from her in the next book?
I borrowed this via KU. I will listen to the next one, which I have on Audible, and see if I enjoy it any better.

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader. The first of the seven sister series I read concentrating on Maia, who alongside her sisters was adopted at birth. They are all handed clues to their birth stories after their adoptive father dies. This particular story is set in Rio. It was recommended by a fellow patient when I was in hospital and I'm so grateful for this recommended. A long book that felt short.

A cutesy romance that provided interesting insight into 1920s Brazil. Sets a good foundation for the series.

I usually do not enjoy starting a series of books, but this one for sure makes it worth the while. It is so independent yet so embedded into the rest of Lucinda Rileys’s universe. The book is so historical yet contemporary, and to be honest I still do not understand how it is so well put together. 
From a personal standpoint, many of the things mentioned relate closely to me as much of the plot is based around Brazil. 
Shoutout also for not including a cliff-hanger at the end to advertise upcoming books, well deserved 5 stars!
