More To The Story is an interesting book with a ton of heart. You'll quickly fall for the four sisters and their unique personalities. I did struggle with the plot, which felt very scattered, in addition to the characters presenting a bit younger/less mature than their stated ages. If you enjoy character-driven books, this one is a great choice!
