The dumbest book of this genre ever.
12 Mar 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Please don't waste your money on this book. I didn't buy it expecting high lit, just a quick, fun beach read but it doesn't even live up to that. The dialogue is stilted and unnatural, the plot implausible and silly and the author just doesn't get NYC. It's embarassingly bad on every level and I just don't understand how this slop gets published. If you're looking for a fun, mindless read with at least some suspense and interesting characters, stick with the masters (Sidney Sheldon, Judith Krantz, etc.) and leave this one on the shelf. Trust me on this one.
Blah

WARNING: May contain spoilers.
This book was rather boring and I'm surprised I even read the whole thing. Towards the end things just wrap up a little too neatly.
The number of villians is this book was ridiculous, it seemed like everyone was out to get Carolina. And their reasons for it were just lame. Too many characters (mostly the villians) didn't seem to have brains. Leland, Mercedes, Payton, and Antonio all acted so surprised when they were found out.
I've never read anything by this writer before, and I doubt I will in the future.

I just wanted to add my 2 cents to any review written for this author...I did not finish The Best Is Yet to Come, I could NOT get through it. I also, do not understand how fiction like this gets published especially with accolades all over the back of the book for other books written by this so called "best selling author". The dialoge us trite, the scenes are way too detailed in that I do not need to know how short the skirt is, how much make-up she does or doesn't need to vamp the guys at the flower mart...I personally have never been there in NY but I don't think it's like it was written in this novel.
If the writer is interested in writing a stong heroine, she sorely feel short of the mark. Women today are stong by what's inside of them and not how they look in their makeup and high heels. I was irritated by the whole story. I have just started reading The Greek Villa and am just as disillusioned by it. I would be offended if I were Greek as all the locals are descibed so horribly as either crones or evil people.
There is virtually no character development in either story. I did not know who Matt was in the above story until page 75 when finally it was written, "my brother Matt" by Carolina.
There are plenty of other writers out there who can weave an intriguing and interesting story where there is character development and you can link yourself with the lead character in some way and actually like her. I did not even like Carolina or
Tracey. That's sad.
Skip this author all together and read something else...anything else.
