review 1: There is a reason I don't read books that include the word "hearts" in the title. I decided to read this since the author is a local to St Pete but was sorely disappointed. The plot was farcical at best - a storm that has closed down EVERY airport in the entire country? Really? The central idea was good but could have been much deeper if it were simpler. The added secret agent and psychic nonsense made it lose all credibility, and I debated even finishing the book. The author would have done well to simplify the plot, the level of coincidence was just over the top.
review 2: The book was so boring in the begining I probably would not have finished it had it not been this month's book club book read. I have to admit, it got better. Not a whole lot, but enough to... more keep it interesting. There were some funny parts that I actually laughed out loud. One was when 4 of the woman in the hotel elevator with their weapons; a rat-tail comb, a can of hair spray, and two butter knives. The were looking for the 5th woman and they meant business. Trouble is they looked it too and scared a couple of men who were going to get on the elevator but changed their minds after seeing the woman. Mostly this was a book about 5 woman who got thrown into a situation due to a sudden spring storm that grounded all flights out. These woman all were in the same ladies room at the Tampa airport when their flights were canceled. Their idea of sharing a hotel room until the storm passes throws them into a complex relationship and some female bonding. I did like the prologue where the author says that all woman are connected by a string that goes from heart to heart and if necessary we can pull this string to bring our female friends to help us out. We have that unique ability that men don't even consider. less
