I liked it initially and felt like it had a lot of potential. But honestly, the book fizzled into nothing very impressive. She didn't really develop any of the male interest characters so I found that I didn't care much about what happened to her in her love life. However, I did like Shreve's portrait of the father in the book. It is rare to see! Overall, I wouldn't recommend it over her others like Fortune's Rocks or Light on Snow.
