Horrible! The writing was atrocious. There was no flow or rhyme or reason to the writing, and it was extremely repetitious. Add to that that it leaves you hanging in the end and you don't know the outcome of "Tomorrow." What a waste of my time!

This book is beautifully written and completely absorbing. It's also nice to see a story revolve around a middle-aged couple who still love each other.

I thought this book had a promising premise; however, it soon became repetitive and tedious. Paula Hook, the narrator, spends one entire night, with her husband asleep beside her, recounting the family past leading up to the "big reveal" to their teen-aged children that will occur in the morning. There are so many ways this novel went wrong - it is well written, but lacks the necessary ingredients to make it even marginally interesting. I can't imagine how yucky it would be to learn the extensive details of their parents' sex life and how ultimately boring to recount their genealogy over and over again. The secret to be revealed is almost a ho-hum after the anticipation of what will be learned by the twins.
