** spoiler alert ** It showed in some ways that this was a first novel-some lines were just way too unrealistic to take seriously and made you aware it was a novel and you weren't "lost" in the story but one of the most impressive things about this book was its ability to show the domino effect of decisions. Charlotte being nice to Sally saved her son's life later, Sally not drugging Edmund led to her introduction to Thomas and future happiness, Daniel's kindness to Charlotte in her lowest time led to his future happiness, etc. I was surprised too that the author could actually get me sympathetic to Charlotte's decisions, even the one that led to her pregnancy. It is a good story about marrying for love vs. money and shows good relationship development between characters. I would read more from this author to see if she improves after being a writer for awhile.
