My Thoughts
I really enjoy linking with other blogs and discussing the same book together in a tour.
Hachette Books has enabled us to set this up and it is thrilling.
The book itself is an easy read and it flows quite well. It seems to have been semi-autobiographical with a possible few added twists.
I enjoyed the book but the story that it tells is a sad and familiar one. I frankly don`t think that this book is Jane Porter`s best story or effort but that might have been because the story has been 'done to death'! The charm of a Jane Porter novel though is in the writing and her characters which are warm and reach out to you.
Jackie is a very appealing heroine, beautiful and capable and needing a change but while I didn`t agree with all of the choices that she made I agree that it was HER right to make them. She needed to find her place in the world as a woman.....she needs to find herself after living in a cocoon and losing herself in the day to day drudgery of living with a man who doesn't appreciate her.
This is 3 out of 5 stars.

Hi Tamara
I agree - Jane's characters are warm and appealing. I'm looking forward to the others Miriam sent.
Thanks, Tamara! :)
Hi there.. Checking in on he blog tour!! :)
I like your review! I like the picture of the author and actress. I am interested to see how the movie is.
I'm still reading the other Porter books that Miriam sent me, so I can't quite comment yet on which one I liked the best. Something about this particular character resonated for me though. I'm not sure I personally could hook up with someone ten years younger than I am. My brother is ten years younger and that's just a little too weird. lol
I'd love to hear your thoughts on her other books. Perhaps we could do something together, on our blogs?
Love your comments on the book. I loved the book and look forward to see how much of it is in the movie!!!
I did enjoy this one a great deal. I have not read Odd Mom Out yet, which I am dying to start.
I do think Jane made her characters likeable and full. I like that about her. :)
Have a great weekend, Tamara!
