I enjoyed this book through the half-way point. I agree with some of the other reviewers that there were some parts that were clumsy, but I was willing to go along with the story because I enjoyed the author's style. But the second half was just lazy writing. Spoiler alert: …more I guess the author didn't know what to do with her characters, so she killed off the father and married the mother to a guy from France. Give me a break!(less)
