Very good book with two minor complaints. One is that each divider has to end with a bold statement or dramatic phrase. This is fine for some chapters but the dividers can come as often as every few paragraphs and it gets comical at times. Other than that minor gripe which is probably only going to bother me, the prose is quite vivid.

secondly, I disliked the direction of the book during her stay with Ryker and I'm still not happy about it, but in the end I believe it redeems itself.  I do not buy the romance, I do not find him hot, I think it undercuts things to have her fall in love with a man. But the birth of her daughter and the ultimate message of the book is strong and her stay with him is short, I would just prefer we spent that time getting to know the girls a bit more.
