An ok book book. I got the whole series from the library without knowing anything about the author. So, I'm reading them all anyway due to lack of other reading material. This book wouldn't be my first (or second, or third) choice in reading material.

If I were Lucy in this book, I'd have RUN from these women! They really didn't sound like they were trying to help her. To me, it sounded like they didn't know how to respect someone's personal space and private thoughts. I mean, if I had women I only recently met hounding me about going to the doctor, it would be the last time those women saw me. I just found Lucy's acceptance of their interference very unbelievable.

Also, I do not like the self deprecating comments of Kelly - the main character. I don't think such comments bode well for a healthy self esteem.

Otherwise, the book did keep me reading. So, I give it 3 stars just for that alone.
