The promise
I finally finished this book; it probably took me a good 3 months to finish it as somehow I never got a chance to sit and just read for a very long time. So here goes my overall review:
Before you read
The story is very light and does not contain any dark, sophisticated back story which can be both a good and a bad thing. It’s great if you are a beginner in romance genre, like sweet romance, if you are looking for a nice read in the evening so you can sleep without having too much craziness in your mind or it can make a wonderful beach read. The story peaks very slowly and for the most part is very predictable. If you are like me who likes dark romance it might be a little difficult to keep up with the story. You do bond with characters however, especially the main character (Nancy). I found many spelling errors, poor transitions to other characters to the point where sometimes you would be lost for a good minute before you realized you were now reading about someone else. Most books specify in the beginning of the chapter what character the chapter is written about but this book would jump to another character in the middle of the chapter with no asterisks or separations.
After you read (spoilers ahead)
The story gets really sad when Nancy is finally convinced she should also forget herself because “Hell, Michael had forgotten her; now she could forget her too.” Then she decides to become Marie Adamson. I would say that’s the first peak of the story.
Can we all talk about how evil Marion truly is?? It was interesting to me that regardless of how devilish she would act, she still had George by her side no matter what and even when she confessed to George about the situation she had put Michael in, George still wanted to marry her. She basically had the happiness that she stole from her son and Nancy. At the end of the day I was at least happy to see she finally did the right thing although even then she could have done more but she decided to stay out of it.
