Being generous here with two stars. One star for being a classic Harlequin book (or Mills and Boon in Australia) set in the 1990s and the other star for being so bad it was hilarious. Amy is incredibly annoying as a 30 something adult who acts and behaves like a teen. The other sisters and parents were far more interesting.
A huge quibble in the story is the "hacker". The author did no research in this. What hacker actually travels cross country to meet someone to lure and swindle someone? They have to be surgically removed from a computer!
This is the type of story I was expecting from a Harlequin book. Didn't disappoint there.

A charming story about a couple who decide to act like they are having marital problems to get their girls back together. Amy, who lives near her parents, does her best to get her sisters back together to save the marriage. She runs into her sister's ex-husband who she has had a crush on since high school.

I picked up this book at Goodwill solely because I was with my friend Amy when I saw it.

I'm just realizing as I'm looking at the summary that the anniversary party didn't actually happen in this book. I know this is part of a "Sisters" trilogy set so I guess I'm lucky that I picked up the first one if the others build off of this one. If I happened to see another book from the set I'd pick it up to see how they settle everything but will not be putting any effort in searching it out.

For what the book is, a Harlequin Superromance, it is fine and there is way more plot than romance. The plotline involving the niece was a little heavy and wrapped up too neatly - there were probably other, lesser things she could've been getting involved in that would still lead to the need for the search and such that wouldn't be a felony.
