    I really liked this book. It was an easy read and I couldn't put it down. Predictable, but it certainly made me think about what I might do in that same situation.

    This book was a good quick read. There wasn't much depth and I didn't "love" any of the characters. I would reccommend it only if you are looking for a quick read!

    This book had so much more potential then it ended up having. I think the characters could have really been developed further. I would love to see a book written about Jill and her family and side to the story.

    An easy read about relationships between mom's and daughters, the importance of building trust with our children so they can come to us always, white lies and true lies, protecting our children, guilt and love too. I really liked it and would recommend it. I loved looking forward to reading it each night.

    This was a Target pick, and I'll have to say that Target let me down. I didn't care for this convoluted story. It seemed very unbelievable to me--and somewhat silly.

    It was an enjoyable summer read. But fairly predictible.

    Not a bad book. The dialogue between the mom and daughter is very believable. I enjoyed it.

    The writing was a little too simple for me - I didn't feel attached to any of the characters - but still an interesting idea to ponder about what family members will do for each other.

    I wasn't expecting to read a literary classic when I picked up this book, but I was disappointed. The characters were not developed. The story line was predictable and everything was a bit too unrealisitic. I think the story line had much potential, but fell flat.

    I'm surprised to hear myself say, I wasn't that impressed. With all they hype about it, I can admit I was disappointed. The characters seemed a bit flat, I found myself struggling to stay with this one. This wasn't one of her best novels; she's done MUCH better in her previous works. Not one I'd really recommend.
