This was not a favorite of mine. Someone else wrote that you can see the development of the characters from vapid, shallow, and selfish to real people that you like. There is some truth to that. And I could see where a further volume would delve more into their stories - but I don't care to know anymore about them. Roberta and Damon - why does he love her? She appears to dislike kids and he has one...although one can assume it's an act but I don't feel that overwhelming change from her. The Duke and Duchess of Beaumont were interesting...but so damaged and so damaging to each other that I just can't see them being happy. She's written more enjoyable books...check those out first.
