What starts off as a good read has a disappointment end. You keep feeling as if a twist, or and interesting plot point will jump up, but it never does. The story is OK but I wouldn't recommend.

I really could not put this book down.I liked how the chapters alternated between the past and the present.Other reviewers have said that they did not like the ending but life does not always work out the way we want it too.
