I really struggled with this book. From the beginning I had trouble figuring out what was going on - the book is almost all dialogue and it is often not clear who is talking. What I think happens is that David and Amanda meet, it's insta-love, he moves in, she buys him and his daughter lots of stuff and then they get married. All in a couple of weeks. There are many other characters who are also speaking, which makes it that much more confusing. I was really disappointed because the book seemed to be highly rated.
