Reviews

[Norla Chee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not a book I'd ordinarily pick up, but it came in a box from the library book sale. The first chapter caught me because my father is an 85 year old artist and nobody thinks twice about him drawing nudes. I thought it would get dull after that, but I couldn't stop reading. Had to find out who Nicholas was. Sasha and her partner kind of ruined the end for me, but not too bad since they were minor characters. Her partner was such a butt.

A bit quirky but fun. Unfortunately I don't remember many of the details.

A sleeper book, in my opinion. This author was not appreciated enough for this piece of work. It had such a development of family relations that wakes you up to reality.
