The revelations at the end were quite surprising to me, and there were about 20 pages of awesome sex! I wanted to leave this paperback in a rental beach house somewhere so that some lucky visitor could stumble upon it. A perfect vacation book. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/27925?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
