Review by Dale:
It was a well written post on Facebook that got me interested in reading this one. I think its a bit challenging for me to properly review chic lit. Since its not a genre I spend a lot of time reading. But this story as merits that stretch across several themes. Early on in the piece when Lilly sees a face in the mirror of her bathroom the little hairs on the back of my neck stood up. There are definitely elements of suspense and certainly a compelling mystery that drives this romantic drama along. Early on in the piece I was likening this book to Audrey Niffeneggers TIme Travelers Wife, the multiple scenes that the story kept crossing reminded me of Henry's troubled life.
I have read a Mills and Boone and must confess I spent the entire 200 odd pages waiting for something to happen. Of course it never did. Thats why stores like this are so much better than those dreary tomes my mother collects. This is a story with substance. Characters are far from wooden. They pout and fret, they coddle and betray. In fact by the end of this story I had actually come to dislike the Lilly. I felt the way she manipulated young Nicholas's feelings to get what she wanted was a cold.
It isn't often a book can carry you along for some 200 hundred pages and yet you still have no idea how the story will end. S
