I've got mixed feelings about this one. I was pulled in by the sadness surrounding Robin's return to Sperryville following the death of her mother. I appreciated the almost catatonic state one finds oneself in when faced with this kind of loss. Mixed with that sympathy for Robin was a growing need to shake the main character into seeing what was right in front of her and to not dwell on the past, a past which comes roaring up to greet her when she arrives in her old home town.

I can only assume messing with my emotions was intentional so kudos to the author. She had me ranting a few times. The ending pushed my drama llama buttons and forced a few eye rolls but on the whole, not a bad read.
