Well, I finished it. I did skip parts after about 1/2 way through but I finished.
All I can say is ...PLEASE!...

I think it had potential to be a great book, I liked the writing style for the most part and it would have been a nice quick read if I wasnt so annoyed. The Joe character was well done I wanted to get to know him - until he met Meg. There was just way too much sap in here for me. There are lines like "as much as I could love anything without you. But yeah". Eww

After 10 days this woman decides that she is in love and not only that but her 5 year old who has never had a father is suddenly ready to have him as her Daddy and isnt at all worried that he is taking some of her Mama's attention away... PLEASE!

Not 1 but 2 sisters after years of being alone fall in love at first site - uh huh that would happen.

Then to top it all off Claire has a brain tumor and turns out the ONLY doctor in the entire country who can see that it could indeed be operated on instead of her dying - is Joe. Sorry I have to say it again... PLEASE!

The entire book is full of this type of thing.

And of course they all live happily ever after.

Maybe I am just way too much of a cynic to have found this enjoyable.

Story has a very soap opera-like feel. Gets a little better when the story moves into action and past the point of the characters muttering about past memories.

Another Good One

This has to be my 4th or 5th Hannah book. She doesn’t disappoint. Although the ending was a little too perfect for me, I very much enjoyed the story of the two sisters, Meg and Claire. Another one to recommend!

Highly unlikely story of two sisters who reunite in their 30's. This book shows how far this writer has come. Hannah is best at historic fiction, this is more of a romance. Readable, just not real believable
