I have loved other books by Wendy Corsi Staub in the past but this one took me for ever to finish. I hate abandonning a book so I persevered. The book is way too long with too many boring descriptions. The end is strange with almost nothing to do with most of the book. It left me with the impression that Corsi Staub did not know where she was going with that one (just as the reader will feel). However, I am not ready on giving up on this author.(just not recommending this piece of work)
