I have a copy from the library but haven't been able to read it yet. I may get the audio if I can't read it in time before it's due. I love Maine and the premise of this book sounds like one I would enjoy.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838832109510581167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-71045349329529182932011-08-30T20:45:39.269-04:002011-08-30T20:45:39.269-04:00I heard the author speak and do a reading from the...I heard the author speak and do a reading from the novel at the beginning of the summer and the story definitely grabbed me - it sounds very relateable - I love novels centered around family dramas.Booksnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197753056299399065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-35120971112879347072011-08-30T08:09:38.931-04:002011-08-30T08:09:38.931-04:00This sounds like a perfect vacation book!This sounds like a perfect vacation book!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-41004651570894829752011-08-29T16:44:54.976-04:002011-08-29T16:44:54.976-04:00This has been v hot locally (being so close to Mai...This has been v hot locally (being so close to Maine) so I've kind of ignored it but now I'm vaguely curious!

Zibilee's right that the characters can be unlikeable, but it's discovering the reasons underneath all the anger and guilt that make it so interesting. Good reminder that you never really know what's going on inside someone's head so don't jump to conclusions.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-65803235117153205632011-08-29T09:00:15.385-04:002011-08-29T09:00:15.385-04:00So glad you enjoyed it...one of my favorites of 20...So glad you enjoyed it...one of my favorites of 2011!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790372684512429774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-69345142418965462562011-08-29T08:24:15.876-04:002011-08-29T08:24:15.876-04:00I admit it ..
