I enjoyed this book quite a bit. This is my first Kristin Hannah novel. I think I've been put off by how prolific she is, wondering how anyone can write so much and still be able to write quality. I should be less quick to judge. While there was nothing complex happening from a literary device perspective, the character development was outstanding, and so was the pacing. I didn't want to put it down, and [not an easy crier], I even cried a bit. Those are two indicators of strong writing, if you ask me.
