Title: Pretty Good First Effort
Review: Overall, I enjoyed this book, from the setting in a small coastal town, to the memorable characters who live there. I was, however, surprised that at times the writing struck me as a bit mundane. Some descriptions were rather repetitive or unimaginative, and some of the things that the characters said almost made me roll my eyes and think, " Oh, please! ". I was also a bit disappointed that many issues were left unresolved, such as the fact that Sara never did tell her birth mother, whom she became friends with, who she really was. Obviously, this leaves the door open for the sequel, which I do intend to read. The people are interesting and mostly likable, and you want to get to know them better. But I would like to see the writing become a bit more original and imaginative. Still, this is a pretty good first effort, and I look forward to more from Kinkade and Spencer.
