Summary: Lost Interest
Review: I loved Kirkpatrick's first book in the series, All Together in One Place, enjoyed the second, No Eye Can See (although not as much), and lost interest by this third one, What Once We Loved. I don't even think I'll finish it. The characters and their relationships are beginning to be too sappy for me.

Summary: What once we loved
Review: The theme through this book is one of redemption. The characters all come to realize that life is best lived with someone who truly cares about you and your independence. Not having read the other two books in the trilogy, I didn't know all the background. However, I don't think that hindered my understanding of the plot and the characters. The characters are well written and for the most part, very likeable. The only thing that bothered me was that at times, the timing of the book seemed off. I never really knew what events were happening in the past, and somethings seemed to be skipped over. For instance, this big secret was going to be revealed, and the author cut to a different story line; when the first story line is picked back up--the secret isn't told--you only get their reaction. Parts of the book just seemed jumpy. I would recommend this book--either on its own or as the last book in the series.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: This 3rd book of the trilogy drew me into the story and the lives of these strong women from page 1. How they overcame the tradegies they faced and prevailed was heart warming. In a present-day time of easy fixes, the obstacles these women overcame shaped their personalities and gave them amazing strength to go forward with their dreams. It's about dreams. And it is about not ever giving up. Ever! Wonderful!
