Haha…wow the reviews are all over the place! I thought the book was a page-turner, I used to be a teacher, so I could relate to the characters and storyline, I enjoyed it. I couldn’t figure out why something didn’t happen in the ending (can’t say why here to spoil it) but I could imagine several different endings brought up by the circumstances written about, so it kept my interest! I bought for an airline trip with no movie screen, this book hit the mark!
