So far this book is driving me mad! It's slow and preachy at times! Plus is drives me nuts that the author keeps talking about bomb fires...didn't she have an editor who knows they are bonfires???

Okay I finished the book I couldn't let it go, there are a lot of good thoughts good, really profound bits...so it was worth the read but the edit More...

I found this book fun to read while visiting SW Florida. I enjoyed the adventures of Victoria and the lessons she learned from the new people she encountered.

It took me a long time to get through the novel, but I'm glad I did. It was slow reading at times, but I found myself wanting to know what was going to happen to Vicki as the novel progressed. Christine Lemmon creates a very likable character who feels very deeply about love and life.

This was quite a fun book. Two of my favorite getaways were to Holland, MI and Sanibel Island, FL, and this book centered around those places. I think most of my fondness surrounding the book had to do with my fondness for those places.

This was an ok beach read about a young lady finding out who she is and searching for meaning in life. The parts which take place in Spain are interesting but I don't know that I would recommend it to anyone unless there is NOTHING on their list.

Finally had an opportunity to read this, and I enjoyed it much more than I expected. I love all the references to Sanibel Island. Looking forward to more from this author.

Uh-what? Seemed to just jump around a lot and not really sure how it got to the end. Just all of a sudden the panic attacks stopped?? What happened with Ben?

I may be somewhat partial to these two books by Mrs. Lemmon because of my love for Sanibel Island.

Since I wrote this book, I have to be a little bias on my star rating.
