I didn't know what to expect from this book. It turned out to be a moderately well written and not entirely cliche romance novel. In a genre where it seems books are pushed out too fast with too little consideration to plot or writing this book stood out. The plot centered on two people who fell in love and married at a young age. Separated for twelve years they reconnected, struggled, and then reunited. The writing wasn't exactly poetic and at times slightly boring. There were a few very noticeable errors in the editing as well. However it was a good easy read with a mostly satisfying happy ending.

It was a very interesting book, different then anything we had read recently. I read it to my children and they thoroughly enjoyed it. There is one part of the book that was annoying. The book was written in England, and at one point they go to Italy and meet some Americans. The Americans spoke like they were from England not Atlanta. The book would have benefited from a little more research into the word choice of an upper class girl from the south. Beyond that the book was enchanting.
