review 1: I honestly don't even know what to say about this book. What was the point of it? It really just seemed like we got to look in on a week in the life of a cold hearted Martha Stewart. I mean the little girl was cute and really the only reason I soldiered on, but I want to know what was wrong with her. In fact I deserve to know after suffering through this book! And there was so much time spent whining about problems with parents/ the conflict between Emma and Cassy, so you'd think there would be a resolution there or even a glimmer of hope? Nope! Not to mention it was confusing going back and forth from this character's point of view to the that's to present to past and breaks even in the same characters view. I'm not asking for much, but we don't need to see everything fro... morem every person's point of view. I don't know, this book just bugged me so so much.
review 2: Meh. I want to say that this book was horrible, but that is a strong reaction and I don't really have a reaction. So just meh. I didn't feel for the characters they were dry. Except for the 2 daughters. Them I wanted to feel for and relate to, but the author didn't develop them or anyone else for that matter. The characters had potential, but the story line not so much. At least not on Emma's part. I didn't get her. The characters didn't cross each others path until the very end, but nothing happened. And without giving the ending away, what did happen kinda just made me think "That's it? Huh."I read that this was the authors second book, if this one is like his first one I don't know how he got published in the first place. Seriously. less
