But Kristen and Nicole have other plans in mindand it involves the best friends becoming sisters. Both Tanner and Joanna are determined to resist marriage, but have they underestimated their daughters?

- nancynovaRating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5May have read before, because story seemed familiar. After a bad breakup, Joanna never wants to marry again, and neither does Tanner. But their daughters become best friends, and draw them together, plotting to get them to fall in love and marry.

Neither plan to ever remarry. But their young daughters aspire to be sisters and together lay out a plan to unite Joanna and Tanner in wholly matrimony.A wonderful story that reminded me of The Parent Trap!
