The start to this novel was super slow and confusing. The reader finds out Kate, the main character, ran away from London to New York for some reason, but we really aren't sure why. We're following Kate around her first few days back in London, as her father has fallen ill. We don't understand her background or why she is as uncomfortable being in London as she is.
Finally, we get some insight. And that's when the novel really picks up. I found it so hard to put down, even to eat! On the front cover, Glamour magazine promises this book to be "A page-turner...An unputdownable, gripping story". And they weren't lying.
Seriously, anyone who loves chick-lit needs to pick up this novel! Ms. Evans, I will definitely be reading the rest of your works!

This is the BEST book I have ever read! It has such a touching story!
Lots of characters help shape this book at the beginning which is really the coming of age story of Kate. We meet Kate as she is heading back to London for the first time in 2 years. Why did she leave? Heavy, heavy stuff here, the kind of circumstances that ruin lives and Kate's life is certainly a mess. She realizes too late the support she has and the family and friends that have always been there for her. I really enjoyed this book, but it certainly pulls at your hear strings!
Beautiful story, very interesting since the beginning. I love this author, I found one of her books at a goodwill store and since then im hooked reading all her books.
It was an enjoyable read. I liked how the author went back in time to tell fill in pieces of the puzzle.
