A great book and author. You really can’t figure out until the end. Absolutely enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it
Very predictable
A very nice read…interesting characters and an entertaining and somewhat unpredictable story. Great characters and believable story line.
This book was delightful. I never saw the end coming, it was a total surprise. Great story with an absolutely perfect ending. Loved it.
Shallow, immature, self-absorbed characters and plot. Was this book written by a teenager? Way too many characters. Plots and sub-plots intertwined and overlapped making it difficult to separate the charcters’ stories. More development needed.
Characters who are realistic and honest enough to root for
Plot is somewhat predictable but nice ending…feel good book
I am not sure why, but I just could not get into this book.
hard to get into this book
An okay book. Maybe it lost something in its translation. It seemed like the book was written by a young adult on their first attempt to write a novel.
Enjoyed it a lot.Great story line.
This book was really an enjoyable and fun read.
Boring.
An ok read. Characters were well drawn and diverse, not very quirky or surprising. Lead character (Nina) was very sympathetic and likable..
A waste of time unless you enjoy reading about vacuous women obsessing about pregnancy (and the lack thereof) and children. A very thin plot with several unlikeable characters.
Delightful story, really, and I don’t praise this highly for many stories. I loved the characters, their interaction with each other, and how uh-connected characters were soon connected. All questions were answered, all mysteries solved within this one book. It was a good read, and when interrupted with “life”, I couldn’t wait to get back to it.
I would give a 4.7 rating if that werer possible. I thought it was insightul
This is a first read for me by this author, Melissa Hill. The storyline is entertaining and we’ll written. The characters were well developed and realistic. I had fun reading this gem and recommend to anyone who enjoys a light-hearted romantic read
Just started reading but looks interesting.
