Growing up I never read love stories. My mother always has, but I just couldn't get into them. I am from Id, so the fact it was based in ID got my attention! I am so glad now, because I love the book. It stinks that I finished it so quickly! I will be reading more of her books!

This book is a fun, fast read and it is very well written. It has a great uplifting ending, and also has a good subplot running through the storyline. Red Duck Idaho in the book is obviously Sun Valley with all it's wealth and own culture taking place.
