review 1: I really enjoyed Richman's earlier novels but this one left me perplexed. There were not any highlights in this book, the writing style was trite in contrast to lovely ( in her previous books), no character development or consistent plot. I initially thought that it will grow on me like some of her novels but it got worse as it progressed. I can't say that I won't read more novels by her but I do hope that the next novel is much better than this one. If there is one thing positive I can say about this novel was that it started of promising but it left me hanging in the end.
review 2: The author, Alyson Richman, is a gifted writer. Her images are lyrical and beautiful. But what a waste of talent on such a depressing story! There is only heartbreak after heart
... morebreak with no relief from the pain and no spiritual uplifting to give depth to the experience. I read to free my soul, this novel drowned it in hopelessness. I can't recommend this novel to anyone as the reading experience is a complete downer. I am giving the book three stars in recognition of the excellent writing style. less

The second book I read by this author. Finished the book however I did enjoy the Lost Wife better.

I must be one of the few who didn't enjoy this book. I found it tedious and whiny

I struggled to get through this one, it just never really caught my attention.

Invoking the 49 page rule. Had high hopes, but just can't get into it.
