Initially I picked this book up in the book store and then put it down. For some reason I came back to it and I'm glad I did. This book reminded me a little of Jodi Picoult's books-entralling story and easy to read. I read it very quickly. I think this author is more known for her mystery detective type novel series and this one is not in either of her series. I enjoyed the book and have ordered another. I highly recommend it if you are looking for an entertaining read.
