Worthwhile reading.

While I enjoyed this story very much, it seemed to have two definite separate parts: one part contemporary love story, one part mystery. Not to complain, because I love detail and background and motivation in any plot, but, I kept anticipating the mystery part to happen and to have some sort of investigation take place! It seemed that it was a lot of plot buildup and the mystery part of the story seemed very glossed over and almost rushed at the end. This story could have been longer,with more thriller type things happening. I wouldn't have minded a longer book at all. It always kept my attention and kept the pages turning. I just wasn't satisfied with the mystery plotline. So, if you love romance, with a little thrill thrown in, this is for you. But, if you were looking for a real thriller/mystery you might be disappointed, but only a very little bit. I still felt it was a worthwhile read and I don't feel as if I was wasting my time.
this book was awesome!

Lainey, the main character, has to move in and take over her best friend's life aftger her friend is mysteriously killed. You go through all of Lainey's very real and believable problems - getting a ready-made family with two kids, dealing with a no-respect job, a failing love life, and figuring out exactly what happened to her best friend, Farrel, and Farrel's husband. This book is awesome and I couldn't put it down. I went out and bought all of Cynthia Victor's books after I read this one!
