THis one looks like a good one and will be added to my mountain of TBR.

I thought this was a really good book. I liked the story line and how the author draws you into the lives of the characters, making sure that you know things about them that you wonder about.

The one thing that I didn't like, which isn't exactly a bad thing, is that the author is continuing the story in another book "Violets are Blue", which I didn't know about and don't have that book! I do have a friend who is looking to see if they do though.

I love books where the story seems to go on......
