"I enjoyed the book but felt the spotlight on the subject of food eating disorders was very strongly placed and then...dropped. I understand the book was becoming lengthy but, it swung so quickly to only the romance that I was left wondering if Annie really recovers that quickly. "

" Another lovely, light and idealistic read just right for bedtime unwinding. Occasional suspense kept me up and reading later than usual. Very nice! "

— Lynn, 1/22/2014" Interesting story about the second of the three girlfriends. Like the authors writing about anorexia and how it affects a family. Also liked the 'divorce and remarriage' interaction. Can't wait to see what happens to the third girlfriend. "

— Patricia, 1/20/2014" I can't bear to leave a book unfinished but holy lord! This one was painful. This was one of the most boring, redundant, blah books I've ever read. All I wanted was a little mindless beach reading this was more like work! "
