Love Letters in the Sand : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Very average
Review: I found this book to be very average. The character who played the rock star did not come off as a very sympathetic or likable person and I didn't know why her girlfriend (a successful writer) loved her so much. Overall I found this story not very compelling.

Summary: Best love story I've read
Review: This was definitely the best love story I've ever read. It was so real it makes me wonder if this Sharon Stone didn't have a fling with kd lang and wrote one of those thinly-veiled fiction based on fact stories. Sydney's reason for falling for this flawed character is clearly stated in several places throughout the book. She's simply helping another woman evolve emotionally and break through some barriers from her past. She can do this because she already has accomplished this before the two met and realizes how important it is to take care of regrets while you have the chance. One thing I noticed was how these two opposites eventually fit so well together, like yin and yang. Their differences were what drew them to each other, but as they get to know each other, they find those differences are also similarities: like when they're talking about how men have treated them L.C. says "men are mean to me because they don't like my body... they're mean to you because they do." And this was a great behind the scenes look at a rock star's life. It was like being a fly on the wall. It was part National Inquirer and part great literature... something for everyone. A great read!
