Be careful what you wish for
A compelling novel which explores different kinds of love, the things we do in the name of love, and the repercussions of the choices we make. While it is well-written and the characters were believable and interesting, there are several parts that make no sense and took me completely out of the story. Even so, it would be a terrific book club book.

I Really Wanted to LOVE This Book...
I truly did really want to love this book. Unfortunately, I didn't. For the most part the characters were flat and one dimensional. The historical context was a mere backdrop and seemed unnecessary-it neither added or took away from the story. For me the book did not realize it's potential. It worked as a beach read, which is exactly where I read it.
