This is probably not a good book to read if you struggle with relationship issues, because who wants to read about 2 people falling in love when your own personal relationship is rocky? This is also not a read I would suggest for those who have never had a personal relationship with their biological mother. I felt like the ending, with David asking Calaine to marry him after only having been together for what seemed like a few short months, was unrealistic. I identified with Calaine's desire to find and know who her mother was, since I was also not raised by my biological mother. I would have liked to know if David's Aunt Wanda knew more about Calaine's mother than she let on. That was never addressed after she and David left San Antonio. The sex scenes were a bit off putting to me, but I don't generally like overly explicit sex scenes in books or even in movies or tv shows. I also felt like it was a bit unrealistic for Uncle Thaddeus to be Calaine's biological dad. Overall it was a decent book.
