COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not great submitted by crazypockets on July 4, 2014, 5:23pm I wanted a light, chick-lit type of book and thought this would be it. It wasn't terrible, but...it wasn't good. The descriptions of the settings were semi-interesting, but the dialog was so awful. It was like if Will Farrell and Rachel Dratch's hot tub hippies got together and wrote a book, this would be it. Seriously nauseatingly bad phrasing. No one talks like that except the most annoying of people. And the way the whole back history to the female character was treated was kind of upsetting. On the one hand, you did have the proper reaction from the priest at the end, but Thomas' half-hearted indignation and her insistence on justifying what happened kind of erased any good done by the priest scene. This storyline felt like an older woman's attempt at commenting on rape culture that just came off as weak and accepting. Shreve could've made a stronger statement but just didn't. And of course, the ending just made no sense at all. Always wondered about her books when I saw them...now I know.
