I'm still sorting out how I feel about this one. It starts off a tad slow and I almost gave up on it, but it does pick up about midway through.

The main character, Louise, is relatable, but there are points where she gets quite annoying and you just want her to get her s@^t together.

I agree with the other reviews that the ending was far-fetched, but it was an interesting twist. Worth giving a shot.

This book was kind of up and down for me. There were times when I felt really into it and others when it seemed to just drag on. Overall, it was a good (not great) read. The characters were well-developed and I did enjoy the author's writing style, but I found the conclusion to be a bit disappointing.

I really enjoyed this book. It starts out slowly and I found it difficult to keep up with all of the characters at first. It picked up about midway through and from there, I could not put it down. It really made me think about the "paths not chosen" as we go through our lives. Awesome read!

Loved this book,although toward the end, you can start to see where it's ultimately leading. Still great page-turner. You won't want to put it down until it's done.

Really enjoyed this book, especially having worked in the Hamptons for a number of years myself. Toward the end the main character started to get a wee bit annoying, but still a good read. Perfect for laying by the pool.

Bit of a hard read. The are some really interesting points and concepts, but they get bored down at points due to the author's writing style. Not bad though.

One of my all time favorite books. I've read this about five or six times. It's one of those books that you cannot put down and when you come to the realization of what's actually happening, your mind will be blown.

Entertaining read if you enjoy present-day action mixed with historical info. The preceding book was better in my opinion, but definitely worth reading.
