Great Read!

This was definitely a Great Read! There were so many moments that my mouth was literally left open in an OMGosh state! Two words describe the character Mrs. Goodwin: Selfish and heartless.
Note: I borrowed this book from the Amazon Prime Library, but I've spread the word to non members because this book is worth more than it's current price.

Good Book!!!!!!!! Kuddos to Leslie DuBois

I don't do many reviews on items, but I have to say this book was good from beginning to end.Seeing that I was born and raised in East St Louis, Il I felt that this book captured the true essence of the city in every aspect.Even though this is a fictional love story(which is phenomenal) there are many aspects of the city's history captured thoughout this book,the riot's for instance I have read and learned about them so muuch that I was amazed that the author kept true to the actual events about what happened the day of the riot's.

Endings Always Let Me Down

I have to say I believe Leslie Dubois is a very talented writer. She knows how to craft a story. But this book along with others I have read have always left me upset and depressed. There's never a happy ending...ever. It's kind of sad. I read romance novels to escape a bit and of course not everything is going to be smooth sailing, but she is incapable of writing a book where everyone lives-lol. The endings always spoil any good feelings I have about the book. Still think she's talented though.
