review 1: This book stirred up a range of emotions in me and I think the relationships between the characters had a poignant and realistic edge for most of the book. Eve's pain, both in the past and ongoing, struck a chord and made her a likeable character for half of the book. In the second section I felt the story take a turn I didn't want it to and fall into cliche love against the odds that only exists in storybooks. That eve would find out Ethan slept with her sister, fathered her nephew and then remain in love and patch up a big happy family was ridiculous. His over exaggerated love shouldn't have top trumped the genuine, heart felt love of joe. The ending spoilt the book for me and was less 'true love' and more 'true stupidity'!! A realisation that the less is more love of j... moreoe is worth ten Ethan's would have made this a much higher rating - what a let down
review 2: On the face (or jacket of the book - in this case) you would never expect to find the drama that I did find! I was expecting a few laughs over dinner with the added pressure of winning a competition - £1000 prize. I was pleasantly surprised to find much more depth to it. Important themes are spoken/explored e.g. love, heart break, parental protection, sibling rivalry, death, insecurity, betrayal and forgiveness - to name a few. What I enjoyed the most was the ending - realistic and refreshing - I appreciated the "happy" ending because it wasn't a happy pathway and not sure if many people would be honest enough with themselves to allow it to happen. less
