Too much blablabla... And I found the protagonist unlikable. ( )

This book hooked me from page one. The heroine tells her story in an engaging, conversational style. The writing is superb, filled with wonderful metaphors and striking imagery. A gruff, mysterious hero adds a perfect romantic subplot to this thriller. I was a little dissapointed that a couple of loose ends were allowed to slip, and that a deus ex machina twist at the ending got the heroine out of trouble, but even these two elements couldn't detract from my utter enjoyment of this novel. I'll definitely look for more books by Lisa Unger. (A )

I'm calling it. Done. I'm not going to waste another six hours on this one. I've spent most of the last hour yelling at the main character (first person POV) and I think I'm scaring the dogs.

I'm not having very good luck so far this year.

Ridley receives unwanted notoriety after preventing a child from being hit by an oncoming car. What then ensues causes Ridley to question everything; her adopted parents, a serious boyfriend, her cherished uncle and painfully her troubled but worshiped brother. For just cause or a set-up? ( )

Better than I thought it would be! Easy to follow with thought provoking statements by this author. Everyone can relate to the words in this book. I look forward to book #2. ( )
