This book isn't as good as most of Elaine Coffman's novels. Contrary to some other reviews, I did not have a problem with Natasha. At the opening of the story, she was 17 and did not have any couples to learn from or even to talk to about her situation (with Trevor and Tony).

When Trevor took Natasha away for two weeks, and it got out (in the community), he was obliged to offer marriage to Natasha (for ruining her reputation). He did not do so. Later, when he wanted to marry Natasha, he could have brought that up and forced her hand; he did not. I thought there were times, in the book, that Natasha and Trevor could have resolved their problems, but the author wanted otherwise. At the end, the resolution was finished in a very few pages, which seemed rushed.
