review 1: Melissa Senate is a new author for me and an easy read - which is welcome at the end of the day, when I usually read. I liked this story and the concept, but agree with others that it was frustrating to see the main character ignoring her instincts when it came to her own life choices. And, I am not a fan of product/company placement in books (Bed, Bath and Beyond, Chanel #19, etc.). It's really distracting and takes me out of the story. Overall, a good read. I could see this book as a "Lifetime" movie. :)
review 2: Predictable chick lit from Melissa senate. Usually I like her books but I found the main character self absorbed and needy. Additionally, I found her habit of announcing she had no training as a therapist but then proceeding to provide counseling ... moreanyway inappropriate. She even attempts counseling with her new found sister and husband which didn't seem to follow with her sister's characterization as distant and reluctant to share emotional details. This author has done much better work. less
