Oh my god! I thought that a book with just 300 odd pages and a reasonable sized print would be a quick read.....but I guess you need that magic ingredient of "interesting" too! I didn't finish it. I plodded on and after reading nearly half the book I skipped to the end just to find out the big secret that seemed to be mentioned throughout the book - I guess it needed something to keep the reader from giving up on it! Well.....on this occasion it didn't work. What a yawn!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started reading this, but soon fell in to the story and got my opinions of the characters, I took quite a long break though, while reading The Help, but soon got back in to the story.

I discovered this book on my bookcase and realized I hadn't read it yet. It was a fun easy summer read with a little of the Brit feel to it. It was somewhat predictable at times and multiple love stories going on at the same time. Fun easy read.

This book was okay, though most of the characters were not very likable.

The book was hard to follow and I couldn't finish it.

Just OK. Featured lives of three women, but I think I would have liked more detail. It was what I needed at the time, & that's a good thing.

I liked this more than I thought I would. A quick read, and a nice break from the murder and mayhem I usually read.

Entertaining.
