Although multiple stories can be difficult to handle, the author does a good job keeping you interested in what is happening to each one. The deft use of romance and mystery keeps you wanting to know how each story will end.
The story moves quickly and makes this a good choice for a summer read at the beach.
I received this book from Harper Collins for this review.
