Summary: love this writer, have read all her books enjoyed them all
Review: I can not tell you how close to home this book has been to me, it was like reading my life. I have read this and all of her other books, can't wait for the next ones to come out after I have finished her books.

Summary: Choppy writing & underdeveloped characters dissappointed me
Review: I've never read a Jackie Calhoun book, so I decided to try this one to see how I'd like the author. The book starts off pretty well by bringing you into the frantic goings on of the bicycle accident. But from then on I felt like the book was more about how a broken neck gets mended than about the relationships between the women. I started getting bored with all the hospital details, but read on hoping for more personality details. But even to the end of the book I never got a good idea of what kind of personality each character had, not to mention there were too many characters. I really enjoy getting into characters' heads, to see what kind of person they are and how they react to different situations. This book seemed to consist of lots and lots of short scenes connected choppily together, which probably helped to give it a fragmented feel that is hard to feel close to or identify with. I was sorely dissappointed and am very unlikely to be buying any more Jackie Calhoun books.
