My 1st Jane Green book. I read it all in one day. I liked how we really got to meet all the characters 1st, and then they all show up at the Beach House. It was a well outlined story, then BAM she throws in a twist, I went "What"? and had to re read that page. I wasnt expecting that. Good twist.

I do think if she wrote the phrases:, "it felt like coming home," and "felt comfortable in her own skin" and "Living a lie" one more time I was going to scream. I am not gay, and her handling of the gay people in the book seemed different that other authors, it seemed as if something was missing or watered down about that part. But maybe it was even more accurate than I realize, That part was just bland, I didnt find him believable or that I could ever root for him to find love.
