Title: Obvious plot, rushed ending
Review: While this is an easy read, a good "beach book," it had several problems. One is that instead of foreshadowing, the author practically boinks you on the head -- so many of the events "revealed" at towards the end were obvious from the very beginning. Additionally, the ending was rushed. After setting the scene for a custody battle, and allowing the reader to see various scenes leading up to it [e.g., the Guardian ad Litem's meetings with multiple characters], we get none of the actual custody trial. Finally, the problems of certain characters just seem to disappear by the ending, with no explanation on if they dealt with them or how, and how they adjusted to the ruling in the custody case. My first thought was "Is that it?" Haven't read any of the author's other books, but this one didn't really encourage me to do so.
