    I wasn't sure what to think when I got this book. It sounded good, but a beach read? Not really my kind of book, but I figured I'd give it a shot. WOW! I had a hard time putting it down.

    It is a good easy read. It's a great "beach" book. Fast reading and a good story.

    Not my favorite book. Maybe it was the "Southern" thing. I finished it but wasn't 't sorry it ended.
