I really enjoyed this. I wasn't sure what to expect as Ms. Kelly is a new author to me. It was very good and the writing is well done. I can't believe the restraint that Viv had toward Mrs. Thompson. And don't even get me started on Viv's mother and father. The character growth in Viv, Kate, Joshua, and to a lesser extent, Rebecca, was fantastic.
My only wish is that Viv and Joshua would have found a way back together. I do think that would have made an even better book.
