I liked the overall story, I wanted to keep reading from about the middle of the book on to find out how all the pieces fit together and how it would all end but was disappointed with the way it ended (without spoiling it, I felt charges should have been brought on one character that didn't)

If you’re going to write a story involving guns, maybe do some research. Literally says that the gun did not have a round in the chamber, but it fired when the trigger was pulled. That isn’t how it works and if the author took any amount of time to research or talk to someone who knows guns, she would know that. I can’t get passed the ignorance. Couldn’t fall asleep after that chapter because I couldn’t stop thinking about all of the fallacies. That along with one character who should have been in jail getting a happy ending make this one of the worst books I have ever read.

Fast read had slowed down halfway in then picked back up. can easily relate to the anxiety, abuse and loss that the characters deal with. i believe the mother Victoria couldve told her daughter Kate the truth about her father and friends mother sooner in the story than what she did but it led up to what the title means at the end of the story.

Sexy, traumatic, mysterious. I honestly didnt have the answers until right before they were revealed. Exciting read.

Patti Davis said, "You know, if you hang around this earth long enough you really see how things come full circle." This is a story where multiple relationships come "full circle". If you're wise enough to understand that the truth always prevails, always comes forward, the secrets however buried always come to be shared...then you will want to read this riveting and thought-provoking story and discover the unveiling of the secrets as the truth is revealed. And just as in life, some individuals make wise choices, some individuals make selfish choices, some individuals grow and give beyond what they think possible and find their lives fulfilled with love and joy, some individuals are left with lives in chaos, and some individuals seem to survive regardless of their self-centered choices.

Here’s the one thing to be said about Full Circle it is a comedy of errors. Harmony between main characters slowly evolve enough about their personal lives in the midway of their life to the summit of unfolding the story chocked full in a mystery and next a strange kind of suspense that brings new meaning in their lives. It was enough suspense at the climax to insure turning pages to get to the ending.

If there's one thing to be learned from this book, it's all in the title, and the quote that it usually goes with: "What goes around, comes around - full circle". The plot is not extra-ordinary, but it was a fast and enjoyable read.

My great quest to clear offmy bookcase is nearing an end. This was the next to last book I owned but had never read and sadly I didn't save the best for last. This book opens with a several paragraph long description of the inhabitants of a metropolitan er center...in other words it was depressing. And it kept getting more depressing. So much so that when I put it down to do something I didn't want to pick it back up and ended up spending four straight hours on one Tumblr page rather than keep reading. It lacked all the flavor a book set near NOLA should have. I suspected (and flipped to the end to corroborate my suspicions) that the man who cheated on his dying wife with the mc in med school was going to end up being a romantic hero I knew that I was making the right choice in making this a dnf.
