Gah, this one is so hard to rate for me. For the parts that I loved, I seriously LOVED them. But I had a hard time tracking this book...plot wise, dialogues wise...something. It might be just me. But sometimes I'd be reading and I would feel like I missed something.... And I like mysteries, but sometimes it just makes a book more confusing when you purposely evade answering questions til the end....brings frustration.

So that was the less than stellar. The good news?? It was fabulous otherwise. The banter between the characters was hilarious at times...seriously LOL goodness. The supporting characters MADE the whole book...I couldn't imagine what it would have been like without the boys, Annie, Guy and Ellen...even maybe Missy. It was heartwrenching...I just felt for Gwen....she made this crisis in life so real and true. And the characters were far from perfect, beautifully flawed...which can be frustrating, but is kind of refreshing too. So all in all, 2 thumbs up.
