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.
