Personal comments:

This is Krista McGee's third novel, and it's getting better and better! Her light and easy writing style, the way she brought the characters to live, which I felt connected to the characters when I went though the book! I actually felt sorry for Brian when Natalie tried to push him away. However I can't get angry with Natalie, cause she is such a kind and lovable girl. And how I missed Addy!! Again Krista, you have nailed it!

I rated this book 4 out of 5 stars, and will definitely recommend it to my friends!

Personal Comments:

I always enjoy Collen's novels, it often interwines with crimes, suspense and romance, the twist and turn of the story never stop my excitement of slipping the pages! I love Libby and Nicole, both have strong characters, tough and preseverance. I grow to like Tidewater Inn too, I can imagine it's a cosy and warm place for close friends and family to spend their vacation.

I'll definitely recommend the book to my friends, which I have already done.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Comment:

If you have read Fist Date by Mcgee, and you like it, you will certainly enjoy reading this book. Kara's friend Addy and Jonathan were the main character adopted from the former story. I always love Kara, ever since I have read the First Date. She was a very optimistic girl with lots of positive characteristic. I wish I was Addy, with a friend like Kara who always make my days. This book couldn't stop painting a smile on my face. I had already recommended to a few friends and certainly reckon it deserves a 4 stars out of 5.
