This novel was quite good. The writing did draw you in to the characters and the storyline really well. The way the story was told and how it was told made you sympathize and feel for each character. It certainly wasn't a 'keep you on the edge of your seat ' story but it was an easy read and easy to pick up story. It did make you wonder about things - like why did Nora keep the fact she had split up with her boyfriend a secret. I have not read anything from this author before but I would read something from this author again. I liked the cover of this novel too - it was simple but effective . This story did keep me interested from the very first page which is always a good sign ! I would recomend this book for an easy read
