Title: Not her finest novel
Review: I have read all of Emily Grayson's books and I absolutely loved them....except Night Train to Lisbon. I think Ms. Grayson is a very talented author and her other books really touch my heart. But this latest novel lacked characters that I could like as people. At best, Carson is a charming girl who is stubborn and willful. At worst, she comes off as a rich, priviledged girl who is spoiled rotten and does not bother to concern herself with how others around her feel. Her beau, Alec is also hard to like. He is pushy and helpless and appears to prey on innocent girls. He is a fast mover and seems all wrong for Carson. As for the other characters in the book, Carson's parents and aunt/uncle are boring.I was really quite disappointed in this book. I would suggest that if you read this book or want to read this book, just don't judge the author by this book alone. My favorite book of hers is The Gazebo, followed by The Fountain.
