Loved this book and way the author thinks. This one had me literally from page one, which rarely happens for me. Basically, broken people from different walks of life come under one roof to find they can still put the pieces back together, especially when they have a shoulder to cry on. Great book!

A decent read, but not that great of a book. It starts out well, then goes kind of weird for me. I get that an incident of that type would change your world- but I am not sure it works in a book like this. And it all gets put together just way too neat in the end. It felt like the author had a great idea for a story, but didn't know how to tell it right.

This was a wonderful novel with complicated characters and an unusal story. It also had a lovely ending that didn't feel contrived or hokey. Loved it.

I stumbled across this one in one of my sister's giveaway piles. What a find! A story of heartbreak transformed, devastation and loss that leads to rebirth and immeasurable gifts.I found the characters believable and utterly lovable. I didn't want it to end!

Wonderful story although a little frustrating at the end. You think here comes the happy ending and then there's another twist to the story. All straightens out in the end though for a very satisfying read.

I really tried to get threw this book. I simply could not. I have this thing about once I start reading a book I have to finish, but this book was that bad. I just could not. Maybe I can't relate to the story, what ever the reason, it was painful to read

This was one of the best books I've read in a while. The characters were all so quirky and I just loved them all. My only exception was that it was a bit predictable. Still I highly recommend this book
