I was stunned by Regina Scott's poor story. She can be expected to deliver great stories with lots of character development. I don't know what other reviews see in this book, but I thought it was slow and tedious. Fortunately, the author brought Melinda into the story because she seemed the main character for much of the story.

The "I can't tell this secret because " trope in this story was trite. Ada was on the point of telling it numerous times, only to be saved by the bell (interruptions aplenty). There were too many coincidences to make this book realistic. Melinda just happened to arrive during the Centennial Celebration.

This tired storyline had no interesting twists to lift it out of its meh state, and I was disappointed.
