An enjoyable read, although not nearly as engaging as her debut, "The Secret Life of Bees." While the story was okay, it was the descriptions of the coastal island that really drew me in. Her words created pictures in my mind and that's what I liked best about this book.

I'm not sure I agree with Jessie's decisions - but then I didn't write the book. Still it was a worthwhile way to waste a couple hours.
