" This was my first book by this author (read for book club) and I hope the rest of her books are not this poorly written. The characters were under developed and erratic. New characters introduced and then never heard from again. "

" I had to read this book for my book club. It is not a book that I would typically pick up, but I tried to keep and open mind. However, it was terrible. There was absolutely no plot. I felt like I wasted an afternoon of my life reading this book. "
— Brandy, 9/29/2011 -
" I like Monroe's drama laden stories but this one was disappointing. There was no plot, people just pop up and disappear and I was bored so badly that I just said forget it and returned it to the library. Better luck next time Monroe! "
