Author: Lisa Jackson

This apparently is a rewrite (by the author) of an earlier book. I’ve read and enjoyed Lisa Jackson’s books before but I don’t think I’d ever read the first version of the book.

A child born from a one-night-stand between two cousins has been adopted with the understanding that the adopted mother and her son would disappear from Boston where the wealthy family involved wanted to avoid a scandal. Of course eventually they want the child back again and therein lies the story.

The book was predictable but, that being said, I couldn’t put it down and read it from start to finish over the weekend.

Author: Ella Harper

I was back on my Kindle for this one. The story revolves around four friends and follows them from their University days to fifteen years later. Lives have changed, marriages have been made but they all still remain friends. The interest for me was the friends were both male and female; so often these “friend” stories involve only women.

The book is set out in short chapters each revolving around one of the four characters; I have to say that shortly into the story I didn’t particularly like the short glimpses we got of each character. There was enough drama surrounding the friends to keep it interesting.
