review 1: Out of Eden is a pretty standard romantic novel. There's nothing unique to be found here and the romance is weighed down halfway through when the mob shows up. As for Kylie and Jack, they're very likeable. They were both well-drawn and entertaining, especially the newly adventurous Kylie. The romance was predictable but at least there was a lot of passion between the two. The backdrop of the small-town people provide some humour and entertainment to the story. While Jack and Kylie's relationship is cute, their thoughts and sentiments often come across as cheesy .The mob showing up in Eden and what ensued was ridiculous and unrealistic with respect to what was said and what took place in town. Also, I found it weird that Kylie's best friend Faye, was written out of the nove... morel half-way through. I didn't understand why this happened. The way everything wrapped up in the end was odd too. It's still a cute story. I just thought there were too many mini-sub-plots within the novel.
