After slogging through the interminable first half of the book it finally got interesting enough to hold my attention and then slowly rolled into the station, only to abruptly slam to a start with an absurd epilogue leaving no story arcs satisfactorily concluded. I read this because I love the Virgin River series. The series characters were all people you could relate to and the scenery was breathtaking. Silly me to assume the cinematography and the script writing were as a result of excellent writing in the original published books. Oh and as a graduate of UC Berkeley, I wanted to first point out that we call our school Cal, and it’s most certainly not part of the California State College system. Maybe she got it confused with what’s locally called Sac State. Or SF State. Or even UC Santa Cruz. Cal alumni never refer to their college as Berkeley. Never ever. Cal Berkeley maybe.

I was really hesitant to purchase and read this book after reading so many negative reviews. Once again Robyn Carr did not disappoint, it may not be her best book, but it was still excellent. Life can be messy at any age and heartbreak can happen. This story has some difficult themes that may not be to your liking, but definitely worth the read.

Worst of all her books. It could not keep my attention an I found myself jumping ahead and not even missing what I hadn’t read
