More like 3.5 stars. Not bad for the first in a series. I thought the details were short on some things (I couldn't keep the Golden Girls apart. Naming one of them Rose helped a little) and the lack of details in Sarah's back story made her a little one-dimensional. The details that are given are sort of tossed out there with little or no explanation. On the fip side, there's a lot of (largely) unneeded dialogue in the middle that I found myself flipping past. Overall, not a fantastic book, but enjoyable enough that I look forward to the next book.
