Lacking substance
Just a short impression because I really didn't know what to make of this book.
I have already read another book by Frances Fowlkes and liked that alright but somehow this one and I didn't get along. The story sounded intriguing and the writing was okay but I really couldn't get into it. I started to read it several times and never got really far because I lost interest. In the end, when I finally finished it, it was on the whole a, well, a nice story but it lacked some substance and some real action. Unfortunately the characters lacked substance as well and couldn't make up for the lack of action. They were very likeable but rather one-dimensional instead of complex.
I wasn't sure how to rate it because I'm not sure if we just got of on the wrong foot because it is well written, so I settled down for three very weak stars.
