wonderful book the character development was first rate and the pace was good, I felt like there were parts of the book that could've been condensed and kind of went on and on more than need be. Definitely didn't see the ending coming the way it happened. I always got the inkling that Nora wasn't the person that Jess thought she was. I definitely did not like how the author made Polly such a pushover, I would never have let anyone talk me into giving up my daughter or not marrying the man I loved, or not at least telling him the truth to see how he felt about it all. I thought Nora was a very arrogant and manipulative person.
