Yes | No“This was the first book I have read by Jennifer Cruise and I thought it would have been a really fun read, but the main character (Maddie) just grated on my nerves. She was so concerned about everybody else and what they would think, I didn't feel any sympathy for her nor did I rejoice when she "found herself". The only character I enjoyed was Em, an 8 year old, who is wise beyond her years. I am just glad the book is over.”

“Such a good book! This book has everything; love, mystery, lust, secrets, murder, and so much more. Every page of every chapter has something exciting and shocking to add to the story. The story is about a woman named Maddie, and her cheating good for nothing husband Brent, her nosey daughter Emily, her best friend Treva, her gossiping mom and neighbors, and the boy who still loves her after 20 years C.L. The book has weird new twists every page you turn and keeps you wanting more. I would suggest this book to anyone, even though it is more of a girls book i think guys would like it too. It is definetly one of the best book I've ever read. Tthis book is like an episode of despreate housewives, only better.”

“I loved this heroine -- LOVED her. Maddie was so real and so much like girls (women) I've grown up with. She was hilarious in her pitiful way, and it just made you want to set her free from... well... herself. And C.L. did. :) Boy, did he! The joy and amount of love you feel toward him for doing just that is phenomenal. I just found myself smiling like a goof, wishing them a happy ending together. A whole new version of a rescuing kind of love... One that plays out in real life every so often, and strikes you so much that you become lovestruck yourself, even if you're completely uninvolved.

To boot, I laughed harder than I can remember from any of the Crusie novels. Just like, "YES! That's exactly it!" in response to some of the characters' thoughts. I got this to read after finals and made the mistake of starting it during Finals Week. It's completely addictive reading, and I loved daydreaming about living on a sunny old slow-paced farm like C.L.'s. I'm surprised I passed those exams....
I'm going to read this again, that's for d*mn sure! :D

“I was so disappointed with this title, but I may have read it with the wrong frame of mind. The characters simply did not appeal to me and the sexual tension was practically non-existent. Still, the love scenes were hot and the only enjoyable moments I found in the story.”
