I enjoyed this book up until the Clare/Nora scene back at the house. I had read most of the book in one day, which is not normal for me. Toward the ending it started to lose my interest. I kept reading just to get all the answers to what happened and who done it. I found it hard to believe that Clare came back to the house after being in the hospital "in a coma". I'm now thinking that she was faking it but I don't recall reading that this was mentioned. Doctors would know if she was faking it. Still from the description of how she was walking, she sounded in condition to make it out of the hospital and to the house on her own. I also found it hard to believe that Nora would continue to drink tea that tasted so bad when she wasn't a fan of tea anyway. I was disappointed by the ending. The deleting of the email was anticlimactic.

I decided to read this book because it was listed as a Goodreads group that I belong to monthly read. It sounded like an interesting book so I borrowed it from the library. It's not a book I would have likely borrowed otherwise.
I read it fairly quickly but there were portions of the book that dragged on and on. I skipped paragraphs at a time to get to the next "scene". Sometimes I found it hard to believe but other times it made me think about how I would feel if I was in this situation. The feeling of the book seemed to change toward the end. Considering that the first 3/4 of the book dragged, the last quarter went fast.
I am not a fan of hard swearing so the use of the 'F' word suddenly being used did not impress me. It seemed to not fit into the level of the book. It wasn't necessary.
I was very disappointed by the ending. I had flipped the page wondering if there was a page or two missing from the book. It left me hanging wondering how Christine was when she woke up.
Even though there were some negative points I gave the book a middle rating since I did read it all the way through and didn't take a long time to do so.

I loved this book! I started it on Saturday morning and almost had it finished on Saturday night but I fell asleep. If I had not taken a break to do other things in the afternoon, I would've had it done in one day. The last chapter I finished this morning (Sunday). I was disappointed when I was finished. I became attached to Anne and Jack. It's been a long time since I've read a book and felt this way when I finished. I was wanting more.
This is my first Catherine McKenzie book but I'm a fan now. I'll be reading the rest of her books. I'm hoping to become attached to the characters in the other books too.

This the fourth book of Catherine McKenzie's that I have read. Although I did enjoy it, I found it not as great as the others. I found it harder to "get into".

I received this ARC through the Goodreads giveaways.
Even though I had never read book 1 from this series, I was able to read this book (#2) as a stand alone. I never felt I was missing information that I would know if I had read #1.

I didn't like how much reference there was to characters' looks. I don't understand why it matters that this person is gorgeous. Or that person is ugly because they are over weight and have uncontrollable hair. It's a bit over done and not necessary.
Some parts of the story just didn't seem to fit in. I very much liked the main characters Sierra and Connie as well as Sully, Cal and Maggie. The story pulled me in and I enjoyed reading all about them.

There was a little sub-plot about two minor characters that didn't fit in with the rest of the main story. I suspect that the next book in this series will be about them. There were parts of this sub-plot that repeated and should be taken out or put into a couple sentences as a reminder instead of most of a page. We get from the introduction of the "romance" that Lola was not looking for romance and that she was self-conscious about the way she looked. I skipped over a few paragraphs here and there.
Plus what was up with the Neely character? Another intro to a future book?

I for sure will look into reading other books by this author. This was the first one.
