4.5 - I won this from FirstReads after entering because the description captured my attention. When I received the book I got a little nervous. It looked more like an older Delinsky book than I would have liked. More romance-y/chick-lit-y if you will. Not my thing.
I read an ARC in early March so I don't know if the cover of the ARC is the same as an actual edition cover but I don't feel it's right for this story. It's not that it doesn't fit - it's just too generic. It gives no real feel for the story.
Luckily, my good luck with FR wins held and this was pretty damn close to amazing. So many blurbs say a story is "intriguing" and "page turning" and then they fall short - this doesn't.
There were a few parts, and only a few, that I thought were just a tad too long winded but not by much and it didn't happen often. Besides that I was in love with the main characters. Grandmothers included.
I honestly don't know who I'd recommend this to but if it calls to you I'd suggest giving it a try. I don't regret it. I'm going to take a look for any others Bradford might have that might interest me.
