Oddly, the book is set in an "end of the world" apocalyptic (minus the rioting, plundering, violence...like a Lifetime movie adaptation) scenario that fits quite well with the media hype of the H1N1 outbreak. But otherwise this book was nothing more than a list of the usual "step mom vs kids" stereotypes: man marries woman after whirlwind romance, man's kids hate stepmom, stepmom is lonely and contemplates having an affair with the too-good-to-be-true divorced neighbor, everybody BONDS!!! over the course of the book). Guess I will pass on this author's other novels.
