Never disappointed

This author does not disappoint with her novels. The character Beverly immediately grabbed me and pulled me into her story. Bev has her own set of problems and life distractions but she is easy to identify with. Her sister Dina is selfish and has her own agenda and it was not apparent to me in the beginning. I don’t want to say anymore and ruin the surprises for the new reader.
A fantastic novel that deserves to be read by you.

I thought this book was a little slow at the beginning but it was very interesting. But it got better 1/2 way through the book. I read it in one day.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.
