Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A delightful book
Review: I have never read this author before, but picked up this book because the blurb on the back sounded interesting and I wasn't disappointed. If you like stories with characters you can really care about, a little twist at the end, and a very happy ending then you will really enjoy this book. Her style of writing was a little different than I am used to, but not unpleasantly so. I didn't want to put it down. It is also a pretty fast read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pretty good read
Review: If you are a fan of Katherine Stone, you will be familiar with the set-up in that it is basically about 3 couples. I won't go into who they are, but the primary focus is on Claire, (the mother who is suffering from agrophobia) Paige (Claire's daughter, the physician, who is suffering from her own demons) and Gwen (new friend of Paige with secrets of her own). Circumstances bring these women together and together they find resolution and manage to fall in love in a way that seems plausible. A quick read, it made me want to finish the book to find out if everything goes well. Not as incredible as Pearl Moon or Bed of Roses but a really good book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: My first and last Katherine Stone
Review: Loose, contrived plot. Awful character development. I was glad, however, to find out she was a doctor -- as it explained the mind numbing medical detail.

I picked this up because it said she was a best seller. I at least expected something as readable as Grisham or Sheldon -- and I was disappointed. I'll certainly avoid all books by this author.

Summary: Farfetched!
Review: This is not the first book I've read by Katherine Stone, but it will be hard to want to buy another one. The story had too many subplots and the twin sisters' relationship developed far too fast to be plausible. This should have been saved for a magazine novella. Katherine Stone can do better than this!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very disappointing
Review: This is the first book I've read by Ms. Stone and I believe it will be my last. This book had many problems including the fact that there are about 6 stories going on in a 360 page book. With all those story lines you can't get to know any character well. Another problem was the amount of "thinking" that was put into the dialouge. The characters would say something and then in italic print there would be the thoughts of the charcter while they were talking. This is okay sometimes but this is carried on and on with all the characters through out the book. The main story of Gwen & Paige is a great idea, just poorly written and explored.
