Title: The only reason I finished it was that Susan Isaacs wrote it
Product review: I really had to force myself to finish this book. I am a big fan of Susan Isaacs, and have read every one of her books, but this one left me cold. When I had only 50 pages left, I still almost put it down. I understand the reasoning behind the two parts of the book, but if what Ms. Isaacs was trying to do was help us understand the main characters, Charlie and Lauren, then how come I did not feel that I really knew Lauren at all? She was not a well-drawn character - the way that her mother, grandmother, etc. were portrayed. I also was pretty surprised that they hopped into bed so quickly - that was really a letdown - without any real tension buildup. I don't really think that the two parts of the book flowed well together. why spend so much time with the prior characterizations, when the main characters are total unknowns? This didn't make any sense to me. Well, keep trying, Susan.
