Summary: Perfect Snooze
Review: This story had a beginning that had a lot of potential. A woman is found with a cut on her head, wandering around a cemetary and church. The mystery is set as to what happened to this woman? But the amnesia didn't last long, and soon Cassie remembers everything that happened that lead to her loss of memory. Three years prior Cassie married Hollywood star Alex Rivers. Life was just wonderful except for those wee moments when Alex would beat her. And so the tale that leads Cassie to eventually leave her abusive marriage, but only after doing what every other battered woman does: keeps going back hoping he'd change, getting into therepy, having a baby.I was glad to see that this novel did not involve a court case, as all the other novels by Picoult did. And the author also portrayed domestic violence quite accurately. But for some reason, I was not immediately pulled in, and felt I could predict the next turn.

Summary: Good, but Keeping Faith, so much better
Review: This was a good book, but Keeping Faith was better. As far as the subject matter, Strange Fits of Passion by Anita Shreve was better than this book. This is not a bad book at all, but I was disappointed.
