Summary: A Great Book
Review: What a fun book! The New York Times isn't lying when it calls this book "a big, fat happy feast of a book..." It makes the perfect beach, vacation, airplane book (especially those coast-to-coast flights).The author's slightly sardonic tone works well here and drew me in from the first sentence. How refreshing to identify with a novel's character because she is FALLIBLE in many all-too human ways. The author also deftly meshes the current story with an engrossing and wonderfully written backstory then brings them together wonderfully at the end. While the heroine is in truth one of those Danielle Steele characters of beauty, brains, and wealth, it takes you a while to figure that out. Her flaws and dysfunctional history make her believable and enjoyable. I never once wanted to BE the heroine, but I sure enjoyed reading about her. Along the way, Isaacs makes some rather interesting observations of what makes a family and what "family" really means, especially in today's society. What an unusual thing to find in a "mass market paperback."

Summary: Suspenseful and funny
Review: While the storyline is good, the artistic expression is a hoot

Summary: Susan Issacs creates another great female character!
Review: Yet another wonderful female character from Susan Issacs! All of S.Issacs female characters are witty, intelligent,
independant and flawed - someone you'd love to have as your best friend. Lily White is no exception. I found this book to be a joy to read - I missed her character when I was finished. There is enough plot, character development and intertwining stories to keep the pages turning, no matter how many pages there are. I waited a long time a new novel from Susan Issacs and Lily White was worth the wait.
