Helpful Score: 3
It was interesting to read the comments from others about this book. I can't help but agree with many of them. Those who really like this one seem to be devoted fans of the author. I'm not one of them.
My take is that the story was as shallow as the characters. So much more could have been done with the characters that I found myself fantasizing about what they could have been like had the author spent more time thinking through the characterization. I gave it three stars because I thought at least the ending was plausible. (I wish pbs had a category that said it was ok.) Perhaps that is kind but I do know that others may like the story. Each reader needs to make their own call and, based on their own experiences and/or the reviews, enjoy a read or not. However, it's not one I would recommend to my reading friends.
