"This is basically a Harlequin Romance with a slightly more interesting plotline and very little passion. I got impatient with how none of the main characters would just spit it out instead of drawing out the Big Secret until I wanted to chuck the book across the room. I don't enjoy people who seem to want to wallow in their own misery instead of just getting on with their lives. It frustrates me to read over and over again about the "haunted look" or "the pain" in someone's eyes all the time. Self-pity is not an attractive characteristic, especially with everyone tip-toeing around eachother as if they were all made of blown glass, instead of administering a brisk slap to the face and a "Get over it!". I didn't feel any sympathy for anyone. Maybe that's just me--I'm not one to live in the past, paralyzed by regrets, but that is what all these people--with the exception of Helen, tha Amazing Blind Painter--had in common.. The final revelation of The Big Secret was not only predictable but flat and anticlimactic--is that all? Granted, it was sort of sad, but frankly I just couldn't muster up any real feeling about it, except relief that it was finally over."
"I have to say I am surprised by the high ratings this book has received. I enjoyed the story line but the writing style was less than impressive and made it hard for me to really get into the novel. I only give it two stars simply for the story idea. I felt the author made too many references to internal and external scars and the metaphors in this book were a bit overwhelming."
"Another great book from Karen White. I loved that it was set in the South and contained family secrets. "Every woman should have a daughter to tell her stories to" is so true in this book. It made me think about my relationship with my mother and my daughter and that I need to find out more from my mother and share more with my daughter."
