Book about love and how one decision can haunt you for years.

Elin Hilderbrand is one of my favorite authors, but this was not one of my favorites written by her. Ending was a little "wonky". In my opinion, more could have been written about 2 of the supporting characters' relationships with one of the 2 main female characters near the end to wrap up their storylines.

Predictable, somewhat saccharin, and yet a perfect summer read.

Good storytelling, with a nice little secret teased along until the end. I think this is one of her earlier novels, which seem better crafted.
