Love! This book drew me in from the beginning and had the absolute perfect ending!

Always With You bored me. I have spend a long time sitting here, trying to figure out a way to state that fact in a more...diplomatic way. But there is no other way to state it. This book was boring. It dragged on, for far too many pages (seriously, this SHOULD have been 150 pages top...instead of over 300). The characters were flat and unlikable. Oh sure, they were dressed up quite prettily...but absolutely no personality. No characterization. Flat. I got the vague sense that I was suppose to actual care about Cathy and the choices she was faced with...but how could I care? How could I care whether she stayed loyal to a friend who basically was a straight up bitch? How could I care if she should follow her heart and go to Jamie in what would probably be a passionless affair? Either way, I did not care. Once I read the final sentence any choice Cathy made would cease to make any difference in my life. I could only hope that I would get to the end of the book (something I feared would never happen)...and could move on to another story, a story that I hoped would contain some substance and contain characters and choices that I wanted to care about.
If I was forced to come up with something good about this book...I would have to say that the food intrigued me. At least initially. I do like my food, especially in literature, but even that became repetitive. Over and over the author mentioned the same dishes to the point that I kind of wanted to barf.

I can't really decide how to rate this book, so I'm giving it four stars because the things I didn't like were really a personal preference. I knew after reading the first chapter that this was going to be a depressing tale of love lost, and I really should have quit reading. But I plugged along, hoping for some redemption. There wasn't really any, although the characters all behaved pretty well in a bad situation.
Despite all that, the book is well written, and if you don't have a knee-jerk reaction against cheating, you'll probably like the story better than I did.
