Topsail Accord Generates Binary Response

People seem to hate it or love it.  Those that hate it focus on how “selfish” Shannon seems to be, and also focus on how Joe seems to have no self-esteem.  However, their reviews never seem to touch on how Shannon got to be the way she is, or how Joe got to be the way he is, or how, over their 20 years they make and then break all the rules in the Topsail Accord.  Those that love it seem to dig deeper into the psyches of the two main characters.  Here are two recent reviews, the 1 star comes first, and then the 5 star follows.  It was interesting that the one star reviewer left three one star reviews on the same day (apparently she is a fast reader…)

I have never read something so selfish!

Ithought I was in for a romance novel and instead wasted precious hours of my life getting to know the most selfish female character and the lowest self-esteemed male one.

I really liked this book – the end was sorta expected and not expected. Good weekend read when you are in a cozy chair.
