review 1: GOD that was sappy and ridiculous. Thoroughly predictable. Not very entertaining. They really needed to tone down the whole Maeve thing. I get she told this amazing story that brought Kara and Jack together, but get over it already! She doesn't have anything to do with the stuff ...

review 1: I listened to this one - it kept my interest but I found it tiresome that the main characters could never get on the same page as far as wanting to be together even though they've loved each other since they were teenagers and had a child together. Even when both were available 1...

review 1: A small town beach setting and a family owned book store had me from the beginning. The story was a little predicable and the writing was weak at times. As another reader pointed out...could the 70 year old mother really have given birth to the youngest daughter who was only 22...
