Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Although the premise was promising, this book is a total waste of time. I admit, I did read to the finish and then wanted to throw it against the wall. The situations depicted were totally improbable. Just as an example, mom comes home and finds her college-age daughter and ex-boyfriend naked and having sex in the girl's bedroom. Boy apologizes before he leaves, but Mom decides NOT to confront her daughter (and never does in the book). Also, a suburban housewife sees a homeless man sneaking into her garden shed. Instead of calling the police, she starts taking food, blankets, etc. to him and eventually visits him in the middle of a night in her white (ghostly) nightgown, enjoying his "earthy" scent because it reminds her of working in her garden. ...and finally, 15-year-old girl watches a teen drinking party at a house across the street from where she lives from her second-floor bedroom window. She is able to hear a conversation between two people all the way across the street. Don't waste your time. The ending is even more improbable. In addition, the novel is sympathetic to the woman who set up the prostitution ring and makes her out as a sort of heroine. It also glosses over extra-marital affairs like they are totally OK and normal. If I could have given this book a negative rating, I would have. After reading it, I wanted to throw it against the wall, but that would have damaged my walland my Kindle.
