Why you should read this story:
Personally I enjoyed this book because it was odd how a mothers mistakes fall on her child's life. I think that the book should have had a bigger plot because it was a very quick read. Of course it is a story so it should be short but if it had a longer rising action I feel like that book itself would have had a better reputation if the author took that into consideration. I would recommend this book to anyone who is fond of romance and adventure combined into a petite read. I would give this story a 3/5.
