A wonderful light and fun read
March 11, 2013
Not all books have to be a wow to be loved. This book drew me in and I read it in a day 1/2 and loved every minute of it. I still think of the characters and story line 2 weeks later like "I wonder what happens to Ruth and David". I just ordered her other book and expect to thourghly enjoy it. I am 57 years old.I hope my daughter who is 20 will read this for fun this summer. I think it will appeal to the 20-30 something age group because the characters are college age.I, as a parent of two college age kids related to the parents in this story like she was writing about my family.I think it is a very difficult thing to change the relationships you have with your kids when they come home from college. I am in the middle of the change in the relationship with my spouse and childern just like the book.

Good writing - story needed a little more depth.

Fairly Interesting, well written book. Felt that the ending was a little unrealistic and the portrayal of the eating disorder wasn’t very insightful. Having a relative with an eating disorder, I believe that the author had no understanding of just how disruptive this sickness is to living a normal life.
On the plus side, the writing was good and the story made for a nice, light read. I would compare it to a made-for-TV movie geared towards young people.

Our book club opted to read this. Honestly, if had not been a book club selection and I had not been at the beach, there would have been no way that I would've finished it. Such a total waste of time. It was torture to get through.
