I couldn't decide whether Erica James has decided to experiment with 'chick-lit', or whether this novel was intended to be in the style of a TV soap. Or whether she submitted her first draft to the editor, and it somehow got published by mistake. Either way, I wasn't impressed. I didn't hate it - I was interested enough to keep going to the end, some of which was predictable and some of it rather discouraging - but I wouldn't really recommend it either. Except, that is, for those who like chick-lit or TV soaps in books since this is probably above average for those genres.
You might enjoy [[Almost Perfect by Delia Franklin]] but we weren't very impressed. [[Coming Home to Island House by Erica James]] would be a better choice.
