Title: I'll keep it short
Product review: I've read worse books, but that says more about the state of the publishing industry than about Emerald.It's another one of those books, where the heroine is impossibly beautiful, and manages to overcome a humble beginning to be fabulously rich and successful ... and, of course, she gets the boy. So far, I've described the perfect beach read, but Emerald has far more going on than that.Two examples, and then I'll let you read the other recommendations that yield this novel an astonishing average rating of 4 stars.First, Emerald spends her adolescence in Mexico, where she has her first boyfriend. His name was Nacho.Second, the man she's in love with throughout the story, the star-crossed lover in question is ... her adopted brother??? Ew? This is never addressed properly, in my estimation. Luard attempts to gloss over the genesis of their relationship, but HE WAS HER BROTHER.Poor old Nacho doesn't even merit a phone call.
