Title: I liked it...
Review: I picked this book up because it was on the New York Times Bestsellers' list, and knew that it was by the same author as The Secret Lives of Bees, which I'd heard lots of good things about.Although everyone else seemed to find it ho-hum per previous reviews, I found myself not being able to put it down. Had it not been 11:30pm, I probably would have finished it all in one sitting.Yes, the plot was predictable, and I don't think it's right to ditch your marriage just because it's gotten dull. However, I have to admit for awhile my romantic side was rooting for Jessie & Whit to get together.I also loved the descriptive language about the island, and all that it entails. One drawback, however---It seemed like this could have been a remake of The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy, except with a female main character.All in all though, it was a good read, and if Bees is 10x better than this, I can't wait to read it.
Is the review positive or negative?
