I have not contributed many reviews, but I write this to warn readers away from this one. There are times when I do not finish a book, usually because I just did not get into the plot or storyline. This book, however, I quit because it is so poorly written. The author has no style, no color, just a breathless young woman rushing around with an "oh dear me" persona. It is the only book I have ever rated one star.

I originally read about 37 pages and put it aside. Today, I took it with me to read as I waited for auto repair. I got all the way to page 76 and put it aside to sit and ruminate.
I am never quite sure why any writer chooses to write from the eyes of the opposite sex, though some do it well. (e.g. Baldacci as Atlee Pine). In this book, I just cannot imagine any supposedly mature young woman in late 20s would be so unaccomplished. James Dean writes as Miranda James, but his protagonist is a man. So go figure. I would relish reading a different viewpoint from mine.
