This book has a wonderful writing style and an interesting story with a twist at the end.  I also liked the two main characters Jennifer and Ellie.

This is an instance where I accidentally watched the movie before reading the book. Boy do I regret that. The book is lightyears better, and the movie cut out a lot of important plot/character points. But this is about the book, not the movie, so I'll move swiftly on.

This book was complicated in the best way. I didn't feel like there were any extraneous details--every one mattered. This story was crafted beautifully. The only thing bad I have to say, is that
I wish we had gotten more of a reunion of Jennifer and Anthony. I feel like after all they went through, leaving them in the park holding each other without anything else blue balled me a little (blue ovaried???).


I would highly recommend this book. The only people I wouldn't recommend it to is people that have an issue with cheating plot lines, since there's a lot of cheating and a good portion of the plot is based off of it.
