this book was a very enjoyable read. i read it in two nights. the whole time wanting these two women to realize they are meant to be. the fact that i read it in two nights was not said to make you think it is a simple read. although it is not a complicated read either. it is just that enjoyable of a read, i didnt want to put it down. i have read it three times already and will probably continue rereading it.
Rating:  - A Cross Genre Keeper
First time novelist Cameron Abbott has written a cross-genre novel that of romance, coming of age, and a legal thriller as well. Anne Henderson is the main character. She's gone off to college, still in love with Gallagher, a high school friend who hasn't yet graduated. In the first half of the book, Anne goes through the normal college woes, including meeting Rae Sheldon, a bisexual party girl who doesn't seem to know what she wants and is destined to break Anne's heart, which she does quite handily. Then fast forward eighteen years for the second half. Anne has become a lawyer in a big firm and is working on an important case. Both Rae and Gallagher come back into her life, as well as a new love interest, Rachel. What will happen to Anne's love life? What about her career and the big case?Abbott does a nice job joining the two halves of this story and maintaining continuity. Anne is definitely a bit jaded by the second half, but she is never a whiner and you can't help but like her and root for her. Gallagher, Rachel, and Rae are all compelling characters, and the story, while not jam-packed with surprises, does offer up a couple unexpected twists. Written by an author with intelligence and skill, this thoughtful and entertaining story is sure to please readers. I highly recommend it. --Lori L. Lake, Midwest Book Review
Rating: - Nice read
If you're looking for a smooth weekend read, you won't be disappointed in this book. The characters are rounded and the plot is believable. My only gripe is that the ending is a little predictable and it drags on just a bit. But an overall nice book and I'll be looking for this author's next work.
