Rating: Summary: It's just not good Review: To be perfectly honest, the only reason I read this novel through to the end is because it was loaned to me by someone who thought I would enjoy it and I wanted to be able to tell her I had finished it. Actually, the ending was the one part of the book I enjoyed, as the mother finally takes a stand with the selfish and spoiled daughter who has put her through agony during the course of the story. Children in divorce situations do sometimes play one parent against the other but the premise of this book was just not believable. Also, some of the dialogue was bizarre. I think Ms. Fielding was trying to be humorous in parts but it just didn't go over well at all.
Rating: Summary: A Suspenseful Read Review: While I do not think this was one of Fielding's best works, it was entertaining, and as is customary with Fielding, I was in suspense until the end. My jaw dropped when it came to light that Julia's disappreance was a setup to give her career a boost. I feel that the father's involvement in Julia's disappearance was despicable, but it was creative on Fielding's part. I liked how Julia "got hers" when Cindy refused to let her back home, as Julia was someone she didn't even like. A very moving ending, and a possible real turning point for Cindy and Heather to repair and rebuild.
