review 1: The story was ok, I thought that there was just too many uber dramatic events happening to this family is a span of 3 weeks and in the middle of coping with all this the couple rekindle their love. Maybe I am just too much of a realist. A nice story with a "happily ever after" ending. This author and others I have recently read have done is keep repeating themselves. I don't think it's necessary to repeat in every chapter that the central theme if the story is. It is like a recap one sees in the beginning of television show when they bring you up to,date.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. It was a very emotional read. I could certainly relate to some of the situations with having a very dynamic family setting. I did agree with another reviewer that the w... morehole PTSD thing with Trey was a bit confusing when it came to Trey only having issues with Rosette. It seems that if someone had PTSD, i.e. being a soldier in the war, that episodes were usually caused from flashbacks or something triggering what had happened in the war or whatever the situation is/was, but I did not read any behavioral things that Rosette did that would have triggered an episode for Trey? Maybe the whole PTSD thing was more about Trey seeing the loss of life and the issues that he and Rosette had, he was worried about losing her and/or his family...It was enjoyable to read a book that really showed good morals from the family perspective. They had a close knit family and Trey and Rosette took in family members (Trey's younger brother, Amanda's sister and Amanda's new baby) after not one, but two tragedies. Despite the problems between Trey and Rosette, they did their best to keep it at bay, away from the other kids living in their home. I do agree that Leena was a piece of work with some issues of her own and wanting to cause some drama there, but towards the end, Trey put a stop to it. Rosette was a very passive person and Trey was a more withdrawn person. But it ended up working well. Again, the message seemed more about morals, but it would have been pretty funny if Rosette would have given Leena a piece or her mind or stood up for her family!The girl that caused the accident, I was surprised that nothing happened, however I think this book was based more on morals than anything else. The girl expressed regret and remorse...Overall, this was a really good clean book to read. Loved the descriptions of the family all playing on the beach and sitting down for meals and just doing family things together. less
