Good book. I really enjoyed it.

[Veronica Rouse · Rating 2 out of 5]

Sadly, this book didn't do much for me. The plot was very simple and formulaic and the ending was contrived. For such a short book I found it to be a slow read. Definitely a beach book and not a very engaging one. Patty Rice has potential as an author who needs to study foundational components of literary works. A great novel is more than a bunch of plot twists.

For some reason this book really affected me when I read it. Perhaps because I had just uprooted myself and moved to a new city, and was developing new friends, working in a new place, and not sure what was what. I remember it as a very comforting read.

Interesting read with plot twists that didn't always make sense to me. Imagery in book was very vivid. Some of the characters I would like to meet. It make a good book club reading selection that kept discussion rolling.

I read this years ago and couldn't put it down. I always have remembered the title. (which is saying something if you know me)

I read this a few years ago after finding it in a thrift store. It's a surprising read all about redemption and self love. I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
