It took about 3 short chapters to meet everyone and i was off. I had planned on just a few pages and then down to sleep. It was 2 am before i could close the book. I was 3/4 of the way through, this is not a tiny book either. It is so easy to read and the story line is perfect. I believe this is gonna be one of my favorite new authors. She is amazing. There is alot going on in this story but it is easy to keep up with and you will love, cry and laugh out loud with these lovely characters. The town is perfect and i'd love to live there. The novel if full of love, attraction, mixed family blending, thrill, murder, silly. This author can write a mesmorizing read and i am looking for alot more from her.

What can I say? This book leaves me with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. I picked up the book not expecting much and I came out more than satisfied that I read this book. This part love story and part mystery will keep you reading (once it sucks you in).
I really liked the format of the story. It alternates between present day and the past. The way both stories unfold complement each other and help to slowly open the readers' eyes. I admit that I do rather like the history of how they came to be better than present day, but as the past caught up with the present, the author blended the two seams perfectly for a continuous story.
This is one story that definitely had me intrigued and feeling every emotion the characters were feeling.

Notjust chick lit, there are lots of turns and twists leaving you wondering up to the end. I found it to be a little light for my taste, but it wasn't stupid. IF you hate books that go back and forth in time this might not be the book for you,
My advice is to stay with it. I say that, because for the first few chapters, there was interaction between many of the main characters that didn't make sense or even allow me to begin to figure out whom was whom.
The book sways between the present and the past repeatedly, so it's difficult to latch onto the story until the pieces begin to make sense. Once they do, however, I found the storyline to be engaging and interesting and I kept wanting to know more about the evolvement of the various relationships.
I rated this as a "solid" 4 out of 5 stars simply because it took me some time to get into the story. Once I did, however, I enjoyed it very much.
