Extremely dull and boring. Tried twice to get through it and I just can't. You'd think since it was in the setting of a place like Mallorca that it would be interesting. The author doesn't describe the setting hardly at all. Not wasting any more time with this one.

Huh, I didn't think this book was dull or boring, not even slow. I enjoyed a glimpse into these peoples lives, they were hurt, troubled, lost and all struggling with actual real-life issues. Sure, none of the characters were super likeable, but that made them more realistic to me. I liked this family drama.
