Customer Reviews

Easy read...

I just finished reading this book this morning, and quite enjoyed it. I bought it because the comparison on the cover likened it to Marian Keyes, although I wouldn't say it was as good as her work. The story doesn't really kick in until the main character begins her plane trip a couple of chapters in. At this point it looked like being a fantastic book, but the pace dropped right off. There was huge possibility with this book and I was a little disappointed, but there were some interesting things happen along the way - and it did bring a tear to my eye at the end. A nice read if you're looking for something light and easy.

Great Book!

I really enjoyed this book. Although it was a summer "beach read" this book had substance.
