This book was very good! I think that some things happened a little sooner than I would think I would have allowed them to happen if it had been me. But, I couldn't put the book down!!
This is my Book Club's book for July. Can't wait to get together to discuss it!!
Had a great discussion on this book! Jenny claimed it was a light read, but there was lots to discuss. Life gets complicated and this book looks at ways in which different relationships cause those complications!
