I loved this book! Such a great combination of mystery/thriller/chicklit.....and I enjoy all three of these genres so what a treat to have all 3 in one book! I read this book over a weekend..not because it is a short easy read but because I couldn't put it down! I look forward to reading more from Beth McMullen!

I really enjoyed this book. Gave so many different perspectives rather than just the usual difficult New York parents and spoiled child vs poor pathetic over worked nanny take. Victoria Brown allows us to see what Grace is coming from in her Trinidad upbringing and her daily struggles to survive in New York outside of her nanny day job. Very well rounded look at life of an immigrant nanny. Highly recommend this book!

This is only the second Jack Reacher book I've read..it was decent. Good plotline and kept my interest until the very end. It was a quick and easy read and I'd recommend it to fans of espionage style thrillers.

Although this book was not my usual genre I did enjoy it. The author did an excellent job of allowing the reader to witness events both past and present using different narrators...I felt this added to the insight of both the plot as it unfolded as well as to the character development. What I enjoyed most was exposure to a culture I haven't really read much on....a combination of contemporary Native American and Hispanic cultures.

I really enjoyed this book. It was not only a book that kept my attention but it made me think and put myself in each of the character's shoes. The author did a great job with character development. I was able to feel empathy for each of the characters although they were all flawed, and had made mistakes that impacted not only one another but had far reaching affects. Great book...hard to believe it is the author's first novel!

I did not really care for this book. The premise sounded good and when I sat down to read it I was hoping it would be a real page turner. Sadly, that was not the case. I really did not like any of the characters...felt they were all very flawed and didn't have a lot of redeeming qualities. I also felt that it was very slow moving and that what promised to be a dramatic ending was rather a let down.

I found this book to be an easy read. It kept my attention but wasn't as much of a page turner as I had hoped. The main character, Tessa Harlow, has nearly recovered physically from a hiking accident but is still struggling to recover mentally. As she pushes herself to face her past so she can move on she discovers some hidden family secrets that threaten to further impede her quest for recovery.

Pat Conroy is one of my favorite authors and he did not let me down with his latest novel, South of Broad. It is a wonderfully written account of a white middle class teenage boy growing up in the south during the tumultuous 60s. He is the anchor of a racially, socially and economically diverse group of teens, all of whom are facing the challenges of coexisting in a newly segregated world. Conroy does an excellent job of recreating this time period in American history through the widely varying viewpoints of his well defined teen characters.
