Since there have been hundreds of reviews done on this one, MY review will be short and sweet.

when I started reading, I was a bit underwhelmed. I didn't like the characters at all. One was a whiney alcoholic still bemoaning the fact that her husband had cheated on her two years previously. I just wanted to shake some sense into her. Then I met the ex-husband ... jerk of the year. His present wife comes across as a weakling .. yes, dear; no dear; whatever you say, dear. *shudders*.

But as I got deeper and deeper into the book, I realized that even though these characters had no redeeming qualities as far as I could see, they were actually interesting. And I was getting more and more involved into the story.

Bottom Line ... this one's a winner ... 5 stars
