I’m at page 300 and about to either 1) throw up; 2) throw the book against the wall; 3) just give up. Or all of the above.

This mess needs a much better editor than it had. And “The Family Tabor?” How pretentious. I’ll probably finish because I have so much invested but I’m into skim mode now.

In reply to susan. I thought the pace was really quick. The focus shifted from character to character, so that moved the book along nicely.

In reply to Ann Marie. I really don't think this book will be for everybody, but for whatever reason it really resonated with me.

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. I think you're feeling is right. This seems like one of those books that works for me, but that you wouldn't really care for.

Nice review. I’m intrigued and will look for it — I haven’t tried this author yet. I like the setting of Palm Springs — which is not far from where I grew up. At 400 pages, how was the pace?

Great review as always! I’m not sure if this one’s meant for me but I like that you were able to give it an A- despite a few things I think would bother me as well.

Wow! A-! I still don’t think I feel like picking it back up. It just started so pretentiously and I remember being angry at Joan Ashby when I finished it and wishing I’d DNF’d even though the beginnnig was great.
