I know I hated the other Baratz-Logsted book I read, but I read The Thin Pink Line a few years ago and loved it, but felt totally cheated by the end. This book, then, was very exciting for me to find! Even coming at it this much later, I still remembered the story and characters enough that I got into it quickly, and it's obvious that the stilted style from the other book of hers I'd read was exactly that - a style used for the book. This one was well-written, funny, entertaining, and just a tou...more
I hated the first book but I guess not enough to want to read the second. I guess it was the cliffhanger end. The main character continues to be irritating and now has also become even more ignorant and offensive.
I have somehow read three of this author's books. By the time of the third one, though, I had caught on as to who she was and read it only to make fun of it with my friends.

Not as good as the first. but a much needed end to the book I have thought about for years. Then again if there isn't already there will most likely be a third book, just guessing by the way it left off.
This one was a bit better than the first one. At least I didn't have the urge to stop reading it. I'd actually skip the first book and just read this one
GREAT sequel! Better than the first in the series. I am hoping for another installment!
Mostly fluff and little substance...could have been so much more.
I liked this a lot better than the first! Review to come
blah book about this lady that pretends to be pregnant then finds a black baby on a church step and decides to raise it....you don't really hear much about the "raising" till the last paragraph of each chapter.....chick lit that wasn't to entertaining, I wouldn't even suggest it for beach reading

This is the sequel to the The Thin Pink Line, and I liked it much better then the first. I don't have much to say about it except it really is one of those "happy ending" books.

Finally! The sequel to The Thin Pink Line. This book tied everything from the first book up nicely and was a much better book than the prequel.
This was a silly, unbelievable book that I read to fill my time. As a time filler, it worked. As a book, not so much.
This was an ok book. It was a little more serious than a lot of the other RDI books I've read, but I did enjoy it somewhat.

The sequel to The Thin Pink Line. I had to find out what that immature, obnoxious character was going to do....
It was a lot than the first, but still not a great book. I'm not sure I will read the third book.
Not as good as the prequel. A little predictable.
